Hey Fred....great photos. Your deer story is surely an awareness-getter. Friday morning I had a 6 point buck in velvet jump out into the road in front of me and run across the road. It wasn't that close but it got my attention looking for another deer to run along behind it. Part of my trip to Elkins will be through the Alleghany National Forest and the Monogahela National Forest so my deer alert senses will be fine turned.

I was going to go out this weekend and clean up Old #12 but I decided that was kind of a nutty idea. She'll just get dirty again and I know I'm going to hit some rain between home and Elkins, so I'll do my cleaning when I get there Thursday morning.

Quite frankly I'm both nervous and excited. The wait until my departure Wednesdy morning has me going nuts.
