And so we will.  My good friends Rick Browning and Mike Dean from West Virginia, and good friend Joe Nemecek from Oklahoma and I head west for our annual adventure.  Horses in tow and more “stuff” than you need as we make this 1700 mile trek to New Mexico.  Rick and I have made this trip together for the last five years.  Last year was Mike’s first time with us, and Joe will make his Maiden Voyage on an all out bow hunting, horse back riding, sleeping on the ground, eating spam for 10 days, drinking creek water, freezing all night, muscle cramping Elk hunt.  And we think this is fun. We love it.  I’ll bring back plenty of pics for future posts.  A couple “notes” about these guys.  Rick and Mike have to use my Ohio address when they apply for the license as New Mexico won’t allow people from West Virginia in their state.  And Joe Nemecek never does anything but sit behind a desk, so, I am anxious to see how he gets along climbing those mountains.  We’ll see.
