Asessippi Archers Outdoor Shoot.

NOT only was there a Cat in the tree but Tom was up there retrieving the arros from target and from the tree. This was one of the shots at our outdoor shoot held by our Asessippi Archery Club Tom and I belong to. My aim is to hit target any where Tom plans for a 10. I did come up with a couple also and had a arrow int he creek that Tom retrieved along with some others. First shoot we had gone to this year and what a good course set up for us.

Reunion at Big GRass

Wright reunion brought together families from Alberta to Manitoba. Judys side of the gang met at the lodge for some food, laughs, stories and another few photos. Not since 1979 had this group gathered, but finally after many emails we pulled it off.

HOle in the Wall CAfe

While Doug is guiding we travelled past an old coal mine, also to this unique little town with this cool little store and restuarant.  Sitting between 2 mountains, 40 miles from no where, with big horned sheep on all hills, Elk standing on road side and huge mule deer grazing in the dips was a great trip for a camera. But NO BEARS. HE did promise me a bear but NO SHOW as of yet.
