I had a state job once, but it was unsatisfying and the only place it was headed was to retirement. And I didn't wanna wait that long.

Follow the rules and fill out the paper work in the proper form

Government jobs are for small minds. Used to be they were a minority.

It wasn't that local, to me.

I can take you places no ran ranger has been. Hell. we'll even go there with a local Game & Fish dude. (Just so you foreigners don't get in trouble).

LOL......

I have no problem getting off the beaten path. Just when you think you're someplace where no one has been before, you find a prospector's hole or some other sign.

True. Or there are signs that tell you this 'might' be an archaeological' site, filled with threats of what befalls you if you trespass. And my G&F friends feel the same. Their concern isn't some pottery shards in some 1000 old land fill that is only of interest to an archaeological PhD candidate working on the dissertation,

Knowing more and more until they know absolutely everything there is to know about nothing.

We always slept out with the kids, even when bears were known to be in the aera, because we policed our food, etc and did all the right things. Then Fucking Mr Ranger comes and shakes the tent around 11pm and asks if we have food inside. I told him that we weren't a bunch of morons and to leave us alone. Mrs t however, was shaken up and didn't sleep a wink. She got to sleep in the sun in the canoe the next day.

That's reminiscent of camping trips as teenagers and idiot friends with terrible senses of humour. Boys suck!

It'll be a full time job trying to ensure 'camp safety' rules with 4 under 9....I feel tired already actually. And I am taking bets with family that it's my oldest who bails first to the truck for the night since he has been on a 'close encounters' documentary marathon this summer.

We were four wheeling near a cluster of abandoned gold mines. We were all very pleased with ourselves and our amazing four wheeling abilities.

Then we noticed an old school bus that had rolled off the trail. It was old, round, rusty, and full of bullet holes. Whoever piloted the once yellow beast up to that point in the trail was either crazy or skilled or both.

My aging eyes keep reading the title of this thread as Dear Food. I've opened it twice now expecting letters to food.

Probably a bit of both.

But once upon a time, what many Americans now think of as hard work wasn't even enough to keep a family running day to day.

Dear Food,

Please jump into my mouth,

With due thanks,

You are absolutely right—

and the sorry fact is just how few of them comprehend it. It is a country that, on the whole, has grown very fat and very spoiled.​

That mama grizzly shouldn't be killed, she should be awarded a 'confirmed kill' (5 and she's an 'ace') stamp. Then they should change Yellowstone's motto, "Yellowstone, an experience you might live to remember." If nothing else it might thin out the crowds.

The bears win another round.

Every time I learn of a bear attack, I recall this piece:

"...How we should go about living with grizzlies is not an easy subject. Half of our population considers grizzlies to be serial killers and the other half considers them a cross between Yogi Bear and Winnie the Pooh. But they are not serial killers, they are not harmless, and they are not our friends. They are wild beings, with all that connotes. For reasons I don't understand, many people have a hard time accepting that fact. As Aldo Leopold put it: 'Only those able to see the pageant of evolution can be expected to value its theater, the wilderness, and its outstanding achievement, the grizzly.'

On the other hand, no one should underestimate the horror of a grizzly attack. A small library of books describing such attacks is likely to keep you from ever hiking in grizzly country, especially alone. One factoid I can't get out of my head was reported by Dr. Steven P. French, a biologist who worked for the Yellowstone Grizzly Foundation: a grizzly may begin eating you before you die..."​
