We spent a week in Park City, Utah for my 12 year old daughters 12U softball World Series. We then drove to my Dad's house in Gearhart, Oregon which is on the coast, south of Astoria, which is where the Columbia River empties into the Pacific. We spent the 1st night at Jacob Lake and drove down to the North Rim. Found lots of critters in Utah. Also never have seen so many road killed deer. They were everywhere it seemed. Buffalo on a small farm. Elk on a small farm. Fun at the Olympic Park. Just happened to find the Browning Factory Outlet in Morgan. Went on a mini spree! Finally got to Oregon. Never saw the sun in 4 days on the coast. A marine layer set in and temps were about 55 to 60 the entire time. Had to wear a sweatshirt once. This sea lion looked sick but we left him alone. Wife and girls played in the sand. And had to get the CouesWhitetail sticker in. This was a great vacation and hope you enjoy the pictures.

I remember passing it both times. Would have been neat to stop in and visit.

Amanda, glad to hear you are doing OK. My wife had a gall bladder attack right before a couples fishing tournament at Roosevelt about 16 years ago. We had to go right to the hospital. The doctor said her gall bladder was so inflamed they had trouble getting it out. The doctor let me keep the stones they removed. Just take it easy you'll know when you are ready to hike again.

Congrats man, way to go! Looks very nice.

Hope you get well soon and you will be hitting the hills very soon.

We were up in 23 yesterday. Can't believe how green everything is. Saw 1 bear scat. 1 nice Coues buck and a bunch of mule deer. My boy got sick so we left. It was hot yesterday but I bet it's nice up there today.

The girls tied for 9th out of 36 or so teams. They didn't play their best softball but had fun.

Tim, if you are interested, I may have found a taxidermist for you. He's one of the best!

How was Luke Duke's driving? I have people checking up on him all the time........

Browning BAR Shorttrac left hand .270WSM with 150 gr. Nosler Partitions with a Leupold 4.5-14x50mm VX-3L with a ballistic dial. I'm retiring the BAR .270 Win that has killed about 12 elk over the years or until my 1st miss with the new 270WSM.

Luke Duke and I are leaving about 1 a.m. in the morning heading to 23.

Right turn Clyde.........

That's elk central right there. Hope you get one when the season rolls around.

Thanks for the report. Looks like you had a great time. Very cool pictures of those coatis!

I woke up this morning at 3:30 to the smell of green chile enchilada sauce and whitetail in the crockpot. Luke Duke made it late last night. We make burros out of it. Walmart has big cans of Macayos green chile enchilada sauce for about 2 bucks a can. Just pour in 2 or 3 cans add the meat and cook in the crockpot for a few hours.

Thanks for the info. I would hate to go up there and run in to the race. Looks like an interesting course.

When we went on our trip to Utah and up to Oregon, I had a number of people ask me about CouesWhitetail.com. The sticker definitely draws attention! Amanda, if you ever need something from Cabelas let me know, a road trip to Globe would be cool.

That was me. Luke Duke and I go there alot since it's only about 8 miles away. Sorry I didn't know what to get to you.

mmmmm Pete's Fish and Chips! Oh and nice mount too!!!! Looks awesome.

Why the heck do you need a TV in there? Looks like there's plenty of stuff to look at. Your trophy room looks great! Did you get a deer tag this year?
