[QUOTE="Country Bumpkin, post: 1477397, member: 92230"] 8/25 Hike / Hunt day ?? Spent last night sitting in Busted Bearings Betty watching the fog and rain. Plotted a “hopeful course” up Black Bear MTn with the GPS. We decided that we would leave by 9:00 am regardless of the weather and just trust the GPS. Left the truck at 8:45 and within 50 yds of road we found a flagged trail that almost exactly mirrored our plotted course. Wish we would have known yesterday, but it would not have gained us much since it’s been raining/cloudy/foggy since noon yesterday when we couldn’t see a way up anyways. Got to the top around 1:00 and watched the clouds lift and fall while we tended a small fire, always teasing us for a glimpse of the top of Taku’s Fang. Never did see Black Bear peak. Saw 4 does on way up. Raining and cloudy, retreated to tent at 4:30. It’s been 4 hours... do you know how long 4 hours is? You could drive width-wise across the state if Idaho at its widest point in just over 4 hours. You could take your kids fishing and have ice cream in 4 hours. You could clean the house, give your wife a foot massage and earn enough bonus points to hunt chukkars for a day in December in 4 hours. You could watch a football game and take a nap in 4 hours. You could watch golf.... no, you can’t watch golf, that’s impossible! Ways that Tom can Snore: Grumble Snore - a typical hearty snore, doesn’t sound overly painful. Isn’t very loud or obtrusive. Has a rhythmic cadence. Snort Snore - very sharp, sounds like it hurts. Likely isn’t very effective st getting oxygen to the brain. Shop Vac Screamer - when you get an orange peel stuck in the shop vac that the kids threw under your seat and it whistles with a demonic oscillation. How is this possibly a Snore???? Infant Snot Sucking Bulb - if you have kids you know what I’m talking about. Sounds painful, about a level 7 on obtrusive. Baffling as to how it happens. Typically lasts less than 2 minutes before reverting back to grumble-in/grumble-out (sometimes grumble-in/shop/vac-out) Sick Hissing Barn Cat Not just a regular cat, I’m talking a 16 lbs, solid muscle, striped gray tiger with a “M” on his forehead with puss coming out both eyes......wet, mad and cornered .... hissing at you. 9.5 on the obtrusive scale. Pretty loud, keeps the bears away, drowns out the sound of the rain. Stuck Spit Wad With a large milkshake straw from McDonald’s, when your spit wad isn’t quite round enough for a good seal, the straw is to wet for it to easily slide through and it’s just barely passing air. If your car was making a sound like this you’d only sell it to your arch-enemy. Can you tell that I’m getting a little stir crazy stuck in the tent because of the rain/fog...? Sun the forecast....
