Just a day to do some things we enjoy doing in places that are remote and quiet…a recharge for the batteries of the spirit…I did these things with my Father and my Brother – I continue to do them with my children so that they can pass on these pursuits with knowledge and respect to their own…
Ally, getting out her sunglassses…the sun is coming up…
On the road…5:30 AM…a chilly, windy morning…
A favorite eatery, now closed…a sign of the times…
A landmark that lets one know they have arrived…The Cinder Dome…
Where a natural dam “failed” over 250,000 years ago, creating a series of great lakes in the Southern Great Basin…
No visit is complete without “peppered slab”…
SMALLVILLE, U.S.A …in the Owens Valley…
Waaaay up the track…
A close friend checks out the view…
A safe spot to set up…
Getting ready to “punch some paper”…
Placing the paper and some other inanimate objects…
Ally takes a break and preps a target…
The “old guy” spots…
Ally strikes a pose…
We let Josh think he made that hole…
The “old guy”…squeezes off a round…
Ally FOB’s her handiwork…pack it in, pack it out !!!
Ally works her BHP…
I wonder what’s out here?
Points…
Pottery shards…
MABEL’s…another desert burger joint , now gone, where my Dad would take us after a day of hunting the pointees…

PLANETTROUT: Fly Fishing, Fly Tying and LIFE
You know what I found was really cool if you’re out plinking? Baby food bottles filled with water. When you hit them, they explode. Of course, that was easier when I had babies in the house. Now my babies eat cat food.

Mark,
I’ll have to raid my Grandson Miles’ stash…

Is there a way to send you a picture of a find that’s not obsidian, but rather a translucent stone with an intrusion of some other mineral? It’s not an arrowhead, but rather it looks like it may have been some sort of tool…about 2″ x 2 “. You might find it interesting and perhaps you could identify the stone.

Great blog, I love blogs where you can tell fishing is a part of life not just something you do as a hobby.
