This was about 1988 in the Methow Valley, and I was packing my 35mm Canon Ae1 with a 35 to 125 mm lens. Needless to say, not much zoom. After basketball practice on the weekend I would head to the slopes. I saw ths guy and the stalk began. thats the Methow in the foreground, right outside Carlton. Now its NO Trespassing.

I've been trying to get around that work at work thing for a long time

jackelope · « **Reply #12 on:** August 13, 2007, 10:54:09 AM »

kind of a long story. a major part of my job is answering and making phone calls, which equates to long periods of time sitting on my arse. if i sit and surf the web, then i don't wander around like a lost puppy.

boneaddict · « **Reply #13 on:** August 13, 2007, 12:58:56 PM »

Well I definately want to keep your mind focused on whats important, and it sure isn't work related. I'll keep digging and posting.

thanks a million, doug.
keeping the priorities straight.

Boneaddict,

Very cool pics!! My grandpa used to live right on the Methow River between Carlton and Twisp. He had 15 acres of alfalfa that a local farmer would cut during the summer (my grandpa fished in Alaska in the summer). He would leave the last cutting of alfalfa for the deer and we would regularly see over a 100 deer in his field at night when we would come over in the winter. That is some awesome country!!

boneaddict · « **Reply #16 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:00:08 PM »

Thanks Blacktail. Who was your Grandpa?

BlackTail · « **Reply #17 on:** August 15, 2007, 03:28:01 PM »

Frank and Diane Shucka. They moved to Ephrata in 1996. Man I wish they still lived there!

boneaddict · « **Reply #18 on:** August 16, 2007, 06:43:03 AM »

Hmmmm, they don't sound familiar. Do you recognize the name Idabooner?
Its a wonderful place to grow up. It has changed a ton since those days, and most of the "locals" have passed on and or moved out. Now the new California "locals" run the place. Feels kind of weird when I am up there. I sure miss the country though.

BlackTail · « **Reply #19 on:** August 16, 2007, 10:43:26 AM »

No that name doesn't sound familiar. I didn't really know any of my grandparents neighbors, though. I'll bet it has changed a bunch. I tried to do a internet search to pull up their old address but couldn't find anything. I'll have to ask them the address and some neighbor's names next time I talk to them. I miss that place too. Neat country!!

I've been let alone in the warehouse, office etc. I'm answering phones, making appointments, doing inventory, ordering for the next weeks work, so I shut one line off and just kept the customer posted line open.

For 10 bucks an hour that'll do. Good part though I learned a lot this summer and now I can build, trouble shoot, or repair irrigation systems.

boneaddict · « **Reply #21 on:** August 18, 2007, 09:27:33 AM »

I'm glad I'm not the only one to take advantage of a little internet time while at work.

Idabooner · « **Reply #22 on:** August 18, 2007, 07:22:56 PM »

Sorry Blacktail, I can't recall your Grandparents Shucka, maybe if you could describe their place in the Methow it would jog my memory.

BlackTail · « **Reply #23 on:** August 20, 2007, 11:39:46 AM »

Well I just talked with my grandparents this weekend and they couldn't remember their physical address but they said they were almost exactly 3 1/2 miles NE of Carlton. They had 15 acres (most of which was alfalfa) right on the river. There was pole building shop that was probably about 3000 sq ft and they put a manufactured home in around 1990 or so. Their neighbors last name was O'Brian. Ring any bells??

boneaddict · « **Reply #24 on:** August 20, 2007, 06:55:36 PM »

Only ones I can think of are right by my favorite fishing hole on the river, and it fits the description, and the name even seems familiar, but I thought it was on the west side of the river, or the back county road, not on the main hwy.

Idabooner · « **Reply #25 on:** August 20, 2007, 07:47:19 PM »

No bells going off. That used to be a great deer crossing threw there, not so much any more do to so many new houses.

BlackTail · « **Reply #26 on:** August 21, 2007, 12:49:53 PM »

Boneaddict, Yeah it was on that back road that ran between Carlton and Twisp, not on the highway. I can't remember the name of the road??

Idabooner, The deer were so thick around there. I can remember driving the 3 1/2 miles (from the highway) to my grandparents house and it was disappointing if you didn't see at least 30 deer. There were times when you could see close to 100 deer in that stretch of road.

I'll have to pull out some old pictures and see if I can give you guys a better description.

boneaddict · « **Reply #27 on:** August 21, 2007, 01:10:06 PM »

Thats where those were taken. That was about 1/2 out of town. I've got some others. Post them up if you can. It would be funny if I had deer pictures from their field.
