    I was raised in Colorado, and then my dad moved us to Texas. I still miss the mountains (and seasons.) For my science requirement in college, I took geology courses, and in the back of my mind, I was thinking, "Man taking a geology course in Colorado would pay off in dividends!" Because you could learn about it and then go out and directly witness it. Count yourself very blessed, sir!

But who's to say that there wasn't one in there hiding like you said.... Bad kitty lmao. Yo're right about the geology [ simply amazing what mother earth can do to itself; I really do learn a lot from you even though the geology is different the principles are the same and can be applied anywhere. Thanks for taking us along man what a trip. We we're out prospecting today and found a bunch of 2~300 mesh dust gold. But had a blast in the snowy adventure. Cheers my friend.

I had a big cat jump off some boulders about 15 feet from me and all I saw was his big tail and the thud of when he hit the ground and bounded away.

Doesn't take any longer to spray a cat than it does to pull a pistol. I already know what your response is going to be. I've bow hunted for a long time, cant carry a side arm when bowhunting.
