SKUNKS
I have been reading all the threads on the RRG trip in FEB with so many Awesome good people from TT, and remembered about one thing that was not mentioned. //////////SKUNK.

Sunday night we had a typical bon fire at camp and rain set in for good . Our rain tarps were set up like Paratroopers from the sky. Someone mentioned SKUNK>>>>> Oh sHHHttt
where's my dog and Sticks dog? Okay here they are . it's okay.

SKUNK>>>>... Where, Hell I scanned the area with my light with no sight of SKUNK.

Everyone smeels SKUNK but me. I never did smell SKUNK.

The next day I get up first light and Phantomsoul who slept in my tent.......
awoken and said he smelled SKUNK all night.

I never did smell it but I pretended I did.
My dog mindy she sleeps next to me beside my bag all night wet from rain .

I tell everyone about mindy's experience with a SKUNK a couple days ago in Virginia, and my wife kicks poor mindy out the house and how I gave her a bath and never did smell Skunk again.

HELLLLL She was the skunk..... I couldn't even smell it. Maybe I too smelled like SKUNK and got accustom to the nice aroma of SKUNK !!!!!!!
She had gotten wet and ractivated the nice country fresh air we have in Virginia.
I was wondering why Sticks dog was ignoring my dog.

YEP,,,,,, I love my dog.

Hey man, skunks are forest creatures too. I guess you just get used to it and after a while -- I know I did...

I hope you bring Mindy with you again. She's a great dog, skunk or no skunk!

Who has pictures of Gemini and I crawling on our hands and knees on the high scary ledge that you guys had previously claimed was unattainable? I'd really like to see those!

This is pretty much all I have with the ledges. My camera only zooms 2x -- sorry. But hey, feel free to poke around the album to see if there's anything better...

THANK YOU, PHANTOM SOUL!!!!!

Hmmmmm, it doesn't look quite as impressive or as scary now as it did when we were crawling through the mud on the narrow ledge on our hands and knees.


LET'S DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!
