Dru Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 I got paid to fly around in a helicopter and look at unclimbed big walls for 2 days Then I had to spend a day bushwacking in the rain and crawling on hands and knees through thickets of salmonberry and devils club. Our native guide found an old log with "special" fungi growing on it. Wednesday night was fungi night I saw 3 grizzlies, 26 black bears, uncounted squirrels, deer, salmon and seals. Also 2 mountain goats and our bunk house in the logging camp was invaded by a snafflehound of prodigous size and appetite this morning so we played "Kill The Snaffle" for 2 hours waiting for the float plane to show up.

Doug Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 I'm really ignorant. Is this "chestbeating"? I think the snaffles had it coming. Quote
