Buddy and I dipped ours in crooked creek for 10 mins. They were sizzlin!
honestly the day I went to that canyon I wanted to strip down to my shorts and sit in the creek.  Sorry for the image  :chuckle:    With the heat my feet were on fire!

Didn't want to drive south, quick 2 day hunt so we just went to Godman on Dayton side.  Cold as hell this morning, wish I'm wall tent and stove.  Beautiful morning though, sitting here watching hillsides.

A well deserved meal, we are done a couple hours early.  The girl has sore legs!  Did get to pull out a damsel in distress by teepee, she was stuck pretty good in the snow.  Been a great time w the kid, great country to see and another awesome spring bear season.  Passed up my first descent bear, spent time with my dad one hunt and my daughter the next, really couldn't ask for more!  Thanks for the support and following along.
