The St Judes Auction couldn't have come at a better time for me.  My son called me from Anchorage last night.  He and two of his climbing buddies are being flown to MT Foraker (2nd highest mountain in Alaska) to try to climb & ski down it.  They are all expierence climbers/back country skiers/wilderness EMTs from Colorado.  

But as a Dad who doesn't like to go up a ladder
   Doc  

 

and your distraction is gonna cost ya Doc!!  

I had to get off the auction... found myself being deeply touched and a little misty over the whole thing... in a manly way, of course.  

Why do they insist on putting us through all this trauma ?  I'll be waitin this out wit ya Doc.

             

Well now I'm not feeling well. I was doing fine till I saw all that snow. My body went into immediate trembling and my toes went numb. Why do you have to show that kind of torment only days before Charlie and I head into the North country???? You trying to give me nightmares about the cold?    

Good luck to the son! Oh yea, win that LDB Doc. I want to shoot it again!    CK

Jeff, That's awesome.....but I can see/feel why you need the distraction. Good Luck to all involved bud    

 Vance..Shouldn't you be bidding one something        

Hey, I know this isn't totally a bowhunting topic (except ST Judes will probably get more from me     If it's pulled that's OK.  My wife & I are happy for these young men following their passion but we're still on pins & needles.

I sure do appreciate my friends consoling us though...Thanks  Doc

We're all here for you Doc. In fact I'll lift him up to my Saviour for protection!!


 

Wish I was up there keepin an eye on him for ya Doc, sounds like a blast!! Course the last time I went skiing it took me four months to heal up    Gettin old aint no fun  

Seriously we'll keep them in our prayers.

WOW!!! Sounds like a chip off the old block to me though Doc!  

Yeah, bring that LDB to Quebec again!

According to Zach,
The route has been climbed before but never skied down      That little blue haired guy doesn't come close as to how I really feel...Doc

He'll be in my thoughts and prayers-you too!

Any news Doc????

HOPE ALL IS WELL DOC
