High Hunt

[m.v.hunter]

One of my favorite old rodeo pics was me riding a steer and I am about to hit the dust and Claude is standing behind me in his Redneck T-shirt, with a look on his face.  Oooooooo that is gonna hurt. LOL 

  Bone - I think you gave me an idea on a new thread subject "Favorite packer/outfitter stories".
  Claude's daughter helped out a few times, great gal. It has been several years (My memories melding together) but I believe she was nick named Red? We have had several great packers thru both Blue chip and North Cascade Safaris, The ones that stand out at the moment (Don't remember the last names). is Rob, who worked with Claude the longest, heard he got a job W/ the forrest service? Big'n, Name say's it all! Dan and others I can't think of their names right now.
  Sorry got lost in great memories, not trying to differ from the thread content.

Not trying to change anything on your story but Red is not Claude's daughter she is from over in the Colville area and Rob did'nt get a job with the forest service ,he works for the fish and wildlife but like I said I do not want to ruin your story.

MV, no worries, thanks for the clarification. It has been a few years.

Brian Varrelman packed me into the Pasayten for the high hunt in 2008. I would recommend him if you want to do a drop camp. The only problem I had is after we got to our drop camp we decided that we actually wanted to spend more time on the ridges, about 3000' above camp. So we packed light and camped out on the top most nights only staying in the wall tent two out of seven days. If I go back to the Pasayten I'm just going to hike in.
