Do you remember.....

[First-light]

The ads in back of Field and Stream and Outdoor life "sleep under the stars" and "catch your breakfast from a stream"

The Forest Ranger ads? I can remember showing that to my folks when I was 12 years old saying, this is what I want to do!

Now 37 years later I'm working in the middle of Manhattan, funny where life takes ya............

Funny how things work out in life. On the flip side a friend of ours grew up in Brighton which is Rochesters "old money" families and now 20 yrs later he is one of the premier outfitters in the country. They call him Griz and he is all Cowboy. A real Cody legend with stories of Grizzly attacks and mountain lions and blizzards and of course whiskey drinking saloon brawls. In a year he runs Mt. Lions in the winter, Then Argentina for Stags, up to Alaska guiding Brown Bears in the spring, High mt. family camping in summer and then Elk, Mulies and Big Horns in the fall. What a life.. Griz and his wife with my Dad and brothers in front.
