Post by: Big J on April 20, 2016, 11:00:00 AM
On top of it being a dry spring up in SNP, there is a decent fire going on and a missing women.

There's nothing odd or quirky about the four.  All four are fly angling new-age bohemians, with your nylon garb and gear.  A couple of you might be sporting vintage reels, but everything else points to trendy, modern, fashionable, and chichi.

A large portion of the park is off limits because of the fire.  She be burning good. We have some good pictures taken at night.

One of our troop lads refuses to camp under a canvas or nylon.

A half an inch of rain fell this past Friday night and the lad did not even get wet.  Of course location matters.

Yes, from mid fall to early spring, but during the warm months, I'd be fearing of the MFSs ---- that would be those low shouldered varmints we call SNAKES!
