Introduction To Alaska

These little guys are cute! I got relatively close to them on foot, but they are awful skittish so it took a few steps at a time and stop to get these pictures, I was not going to get any closer. After seeing a large number of these little critters roaming free, I got to thinking, they would be ideal to have at the HITW. They browse for their own food in a very meager area, go without water and surely in time could be broke to he saddle or wagon. I figure if Ranger Bill was to spend a few nights in this area with a well broke mule, he could possibly get into roping distance of these critters. Let's don't be greedy, follow Noah's advice and gather them 2x2, male and female and in time we could have a burro herd roaming the Anchor River Recreational Area. As an enticement to get Ranger Bill to volunteer for this round up, about five miles south of where this herd was located we passed "Shady Lady Brothel" and five miles north, a second one the "Pink Lady Brothel". I wanted to stop and get some pictures but both Terry and Suzie put that idea to rest in a hurry!

Forgot to mention in my personal blog, got in a little fishing time while in Laughlin. Did not pack any gear but Walmart was close at hand so I picked up a cheapie rod and reel. Found a great fishing spot, a heavy concentration of "Yellow Eye" Rockfish and "Red Snapper". The clerk at Walmart said there was no limit on either specie so I kept two of each to eat on the way home if we can find a motel with a kitchenette. I could not believe how good the fishing was and so close to the hotel. It was great.

NEVER CHOKE IN A SOUTHERN RESTAURANT

Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. After ordering their cornbread and beans, they talk about the latest addition to their junkyard business. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says "Kin ya swallar?" The woman shakes her head no. "Kin ya breathe?" The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no. The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up the back of her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue. The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, the hillbilly walks slowly back to the bar. His partner says, "Ya know, I'd heerd 'bout that there 'Hind Lick Manuver', but I ain't never seed nobody do it."

Thanks Jen ...it was worth posting

Trinkets For the Clans

Will be heading home with a few trinkets for each of the family clans, compliments of Ranger Bill, temporarily has the clan name of "henohavename", in the Navajo and Arapahoe dictionary that means "a man with no name", however,while a the bottom of the Capital Reef today, I had a slight vision, however, I need a clearer vision as it could have been a mild case of heat stroke that I was feeling. In the homeland of Butch Cassidy, I would love to find some kind of sign bearing his name, even if I have to steal it! Perhaps,I will return to Butch Cassidy Gully tomorrow. Come this spring, I will be wearing a new hat that says U.S.S. SHANGRI-LA CVS-38. Ranger Bill just happened to find it in a store while he was looking at some other hats. My first ship, there cannot be that many of us around that there would be market for a Shangri-la hat. Did the rain gutters get installed on the Gazebo?
