This is a great blog about expedition and the open road. The trials and tribulations that come with it, and the inner calm that it gives. I've been following Ara's posts for a couple years and actually saw him once on the road. I thought you all might enjoy one mans journey. http://www.youtube.com/Beemerchef Main Page... http://theoasisofmysoul.com/ (scroll down once on the page) He is currently asking for votes, if you get a chance, please vote for him and his dog Spirit.

Just stop kicking stumps okay TJ?! LOL!

Great news Bill. I can't wait to hear updates on how the rest of the forest fared. From friends on the fire crews, apparently not well. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Yeah, chiggers can be nasty. Sorry to hear you guys got hit with them. Looks like you all had a great time though!

X2!

Josh, Nice to see you on again and thanks for giving us an update on your wife Jennifer's condition. I can only imagine the nightmare this has been for all of you involved. You all were a topic of conversation amongst many of us while on the phone or emailing back and forth. Prayers do work wonders and I'm happy to hear the good news.

Wow! That's a great looking mount! Awesome job Dale!

Awesome job guys! Great way to document the hunt for everyone. I bet the hunter watches it over and over.

Happy Birthday my friend! Hope you enjoy your dinner and cold ones.

Very nice. Gotta love it!

That picture sure paints a perspective of what the area will look like. Very saddening. Unfortunately I do not recognize the tower. I have hunted Colorado several times around and in the Missionary Ridge area. Sixty thousand acres burned on that mountain and it was huge. I can't wrap my head around how much acreage this Wallow fire has burnt up.

I'm curious to see if they are cooler than their regular non insulated boots. If they are by quite a bit, I can see myself purchasing a pair.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all Orlin. Jake was a good boy.

I am officially up for adoption. looks like a great trip, can't wait for the rest of the photographs!

Congrats Dale! A very special congratulations to your boy Hunter!

Great idea on the action packed posing Tony! I love your Tejas whitetails too!

I just got off the phone with Amanda. Jennifer seems to be out of the worst of it, which is great. Even better is that Josh and his wife have been receiving a lot of donations from you guys! Makes me so proud to be a part of this online community for sure. Many are just giving what they can, every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated. If you haven't done so, hit the donate button and help out one of our own! Donate to Josh (you don't have to have a paypal acct. to donate, you can just look for the "continue" text link under the donation amount by the credit card icons and just donate by credit card) We'll keep on praying for you Jen.

Looks like a family affair. I bet you are pumped to get back at it again.

Very nice! You'll be so happy later on that you took the extra time to set up your poses. Great job on all accounts!

Great pics guys!

Amanda is working on Mt Graham all week. I'm sure she will update us when she gets back late Friday or early Saturday. I too am wondering about Jens condition. Hope she is on her way to recovery.

This just keeps getting worse. The lucky breaks are too small and far in between. Where is the rain!?

??? Everyone know that the hardest part is DRAWING the tag!! It's all FUN after that!

Congrats to all that drew. The hard part is over!

My heart aches whenever the fire crosses my mind. I pray for those whom are in dangers way and those who have lost any of their dreams because of this. Sad deal all the way around.
