Saving The Best For Last, LOL!!!

This is the only picture taken of the old man in camp (me), LOL!  I would like to extend by deepest appreciation to Steve and Monty for a fantastic week in the wilds of Manitoba.  It is a trip I would have never taken if not for them and now is something that I can also say I have done in my long life loving the outdoors.  Thanks a bunch guys!!!  That's all folks!!!!!!

Don'tfeel bad Top. I won't even grow my beard.

I've had a short beard since November of 1975.  It was red for a long time and then gradually turned gray as I got into my 50s.
