12/17

I woke up this morning, another year older, in one of my favorite places. Huddled up in my sleeping bag, stairing up at the ceiling of the camper shell on my pickup, I noticed I had picked up a stow-a-way, a fat Gecko. I wondered how long he had been there and was greatful that he did not get cold and decide to snuggle with me in the night. I would later catch him and release him in a snarl of dead cedar branches, clumped over a pile of rocks. Should've offered him enough cover to avoid beeing eaten by a bird - assuming there wasn't a Rattlesnake coiled up under the rocks. But for now, I was toasty in my bag. It didn't get terribly cold last night, but, cool enough I was having a hard time making myself get up and out. I did want to get moving though because I had Trout to fish for and, if everything went good, and I didn't spend too much time goofing around, I might even catch one.

Just beautiful! Happy birthday.

Thank you sir!

Happy birthday. Nicely done and spent exactly like you wanted to.

Looks like you had yourself a nice relaxing birthday...

livin the dream,..

Life is good!

Happy Birthday, Sir.

What a wonderful way to spend your birthday!

Another year will be added to my tally in just 11 days, it's hard to believe 59 of them have gone by this fast. I wish I could spend it like you did yours, but in the middle of Christmas and New Years, it's hard to get away. I will spend it at home with my wife and a good steak.

Beautiful pictures, great fish, amazing setup, and a birthday. Congratulations on all.

What was in the flask? Great pics, enjoy and congrats.
