Thanks Hal. I'm certain your wife is in a different category than I am, me being an amateur n' all. But thanks for the comment. I'm just tryin' to have some fun.
"btw - be careful out there, Rick. We'd hate to hear that you've disappeared/been swept under while out there hunting rock chucks."
Believe me, I
AM careful out there in the rocks. Being solidly into "Geezerhood", falling down into that stuff is to be avoided at all costs, and taking a spill down into stuff like this below is NOT on the agenda. I've already got too many aftermarket parts holding me together. A fellow veteran once told me "we've got enough titanium in us to build an F-15". Shooting chucks in this environment is not hard, it's
retrieving them is when it gets interesting.
Other than rockchucks, rattlesnakes, eagle and hawk nests, some of those small caves and crevices sometimes yield some cool obsidian arrowheads and flakes where someone sought shelter a very long time ago.
