Default Gawgeous, Simply Gawgeous!

What a place to spend Christmas and your anniversary. Don't think I could do the trail humpin' but ODing on the beauty would be a great way to go. Sure don't look like the Lowcountry.

Happy New Year Bud! Glad your Christmas was so Merry!

Packo

Gr8 Photos of your trip! I have trouble buttoning my coat at 7,000 feet elevation...don`t know where you find the wind to x-country ski up that high.When I deer hunt over 5,000',I really have to take it slow and easy,as the altitude gets to me.

Was good talking to you and Kath today...and I forgot to mention-Happy Anniversary!

Talking BEWARE!

I forgot to mention.......when visiting Bryce Canyon in the winter time, beware of the the dreaded Canyon Canines. Don't be deceived by their size. They can be quite vicious. They usually travel in packs of three. They often attack hikers/visitors in the parking lots, siezing them by the ankles and tripping them. Then 2 of them attack the face, ears, and hands, licking them voraciously. This make the victim susceptible to cold skin, or often frostbite. While this is going on, the other one grabs whatever goodies that the unsuspecting victims may have. They then leave the victim lying there, minus their Pringles, beef jerky, or Power Bars with their faces and ears freezing from dog slobber. It can be ugly. BE WARNED!

Default O `M GOD!

I`ve heard of these vicious beasts roaming the canyons,but have never seen them.
Certainly,you`ve taken your very life in your hands by capturing the pack up close and personal...You are a brave man,Tom!

Default Crock hunter has nothing on you.

Only a Paratrooper would have the guts to face those savage creatures! My God man, what were you thinking?????? I'm betting you were using a high powered telephoto lens. Nobody's got the guts to get that close.
