Out of There.... Day 14 August 10, 2008

 After coffee we packed up camp.....At 9:30 we could hear the bush plane coming....

There were hand shakes and big smiles and he said "Now That Is A Good Ram".








Heading back to our cabin we could see the lake coming through the rain.
 The photos below are the Beaver ponds east of the lake.


 Our cabin is right at the Narrows

 Not bad for two sixty year olds.  
Later when we had the Compulsory Reporting Inspection done it was drilled and a metal tag plug put in.  Measured 37" with 15" Bases.
We came back with over 95 lbs of  the best meat.  
Got
2 Pkgs of Tenderloin
8 Pkgs of Back Strap Steaks
1 Pkg of Nuggets
9 Pkgs of Rump steaks
1 Pkg of Minute Steaks
1 Pkg of Large Rump Roast
Also canned
8 pints of meat plus 1 quart.


Side Note...............We'd never thought of the cap.... just left it there for the birds and animals.  We were later told we could have got 5,000. for it.  But we had no regrets.... it was hard enough getting the meat out.  
About these Diaries....  We had taken a small notebook.  Each night Bryan would sit down and record what the day had held for him.... and then on the other side Vikki would write down what she remembered  ...... all these blog pages have been a combination of the recordings.

You are both a true inspiration to me! Seeing you climb around mountains at 60 makes my almost 50 creaks and groans disappear!
