    Spain. General questions

    My two cents... Try Riñones al Jerez (diced kidney in sherry and onion sauce), besides Rioja, Spain has excellent Brandy. Since its too difficult to bring back a great Eibar shotgun buy yourself a fine spanish pocketknife (navaja). Oh yeah, the tour of the Alcazar de Toledo and the history of...

I always wanted to have a Badger mountain man cap and a cleaned off skull so I pulled over and got out with my gloves, at first glance the badger looked fine n dead so I picked...

    New Mexico Unit 49 Update

    Not unit 49 but last saturday I was driving on Hwy 40 from Gallup towards Albuquerque at 0500 and 2 pick-ups passed me on the 40 east bound and one had 2 great Elk racks in back and the other had 1 nice rack. I was very jealous. Good rains this year in SC NM.

    Giardia

    I got Giardia in the mid 90s on a fishing trip to the High Sierras. I used to wash my face in the creek and rinse my hands in it. I thought that at 7000 ft that it was safe. As soon as I got home from mountains it hit me, "Muy Malo" for 5 days.

    Attacked by an Owl!

    Similar story, 1976 or 77, I was a teenager hiking with a friend at night at 11000 ft looking for a campsite. A great horned owl came down and grazed my head and I felt it. I had a good old Stevens 16 ga, single barrel loaded with either 7.5 or 6 shot. That owl came back at me and silhouetted...

    Vacation ideas? Hawaii?

    Maui: La Haina and kaanapali are full of restaurants and bars and are great places for first timers to the Island. Kauai is much slower and is more remote on the Princeville/Hanalei side of the island. The beaches won't be crazy packed and nightlife closes early after dinner. hiking...

    Knives Being Banned Across the Pond

    10 years ago, I was in Sydney Australia and I asked a AFP friend where I could buy an Aussie made knife because I collect knives. My AFP friend said that knives larger than a SAK were illegal in Australia and that no larger fixed blades were available. Let's not even talk about guns, he had to...
