Kettle Mountain

Kettle Mountain II

Solo (once again) hike to a small mountain, with great views. This is at the Hudson Gorge, photos are of Snowy and Blue mountains, and OK Slip Falls, another sort of like T-Lake Falls.

I DID ask certain members of the FAMHC…in good standing, to join me. Upon decline to join me on said adventure, rule 357(m) says it was a sanctioned event, sort of!

It would make a great summer hike, and even Toucher could probably do it. We’ll discuss this at the Spring Hike…which very well be on snowshoes!

Here’s a recent X-ray of the good doctors’ handiwork! Well done! As we can see, the install appears to have gone quite well.

Parts were assembled from various sources, and are listed for your viewing pleasure!

Rumor has it that the Polecat was most likely discharged from the hospital today, the staff couldn’t take it anymore!

And just when we thought we could finally keep up with him in the woods……..

From the roaming field reporter Digger, rumor has it that the Ftrooper known as Slost, who is Smissing – has been sighted at a local swill-eatery location.

Will he return to hunt this year? Where has he been? Is the roof finally done? Is there a new project in the works?

These and more questions from our inquiring minds are to be answered soon hopefully.

Until then, hunting is still on this year……starting in October…Slost!

***Update***
I spotted the elusive “Not in good standing” F-Trooper at Ruby Tuesday’s in Crossgates Mall this past weekend. According to Stosh the barn roof is complete. Finally! Now the house roof was in need of repair. Of course Stosh spent all spring and summer planning the massive project and started it in the fall. Coincidence? I think not.
Stosh was accompanied by his significant other who informed me that she has regularly encouraged Stosh to go to hunting camp,but HE chose to stay home and deny her a peaceful weekend. He has assured me that he does in fact know when hunting season is and he will be joining the men this coming fall! Only time will tell!

Roaming Field Reporter Signing out
-Digger

Do I need to say more?!

Is on hold till Digger puts up some photo’s. Ya better hurry because I’m starting to forget what happened and I’ll make it all up!

FRIDAY:A strong turnout (except Toucher, who was once a member in good standing) of the FAMHC results in a big push from the top down to Billy’s watch trail. Snow is present creating a confusing mesh of mule tracks that seems to made by several hundred mules, or one very hyperactive one. Probie pushes one down from Camp Knob, which apparently has been trained by F-troops elite crew (not including Toucher) and reverses course in the direction from where the drive commenced. Lots of sign, but no tails seen!

SATURDAY:The crew, (now including the now probationary F**K Toucher) takes of to lands far away to see if the Beast O’ Mighty would like to engage in a round of “hide and see mules”. Replicating the previous drive where Polecat got his buck last week, mules were pushed, as evident from the melted tracks that once again abound. Not one tail was seen however. On the descent to camp and cold beer, Robba decides to one last drive through Piney knob and the Knolls. As with the results from hide and see deer hunt, not one tail was seen.

SUNDAY:A tired and disgusted crew has had enough. A clean camp was the result of Sunday’s activities, with the Denmama returning to regular camp duties; as once again directed by HIS denmama!

afterthoughts:As the rock star Bob Segar sang in a popular song, “The Fire Down Below”, it appears the Toucher has been burnt by said fire, to the third degree. Not one FAMHC event was attended by the Toucher, who’s lackadaisical approach to the esteemed club warrants his placement on a probation so severe that it can’t be labeled. Will he ever be back in the FAMHC good standing? As far as we know, he’s hiding somewhere behind a 55 gallon waste oil drum in the shop! He won’t even post! Council was held, his fate is now in his hands, besides other “items”.
