Title: Elk Woods Memorial For my Pops!
Post by: brianb231 on August 17, 2010, 04:15:17 PM: Well,

My Dad passed away last October and this will be the firsts time in the ELK woods without him. I wanted to do something in the woods as remembrance. I designed this plaque that will be made out of brushed stainless steel and It will be bolted the large tree up on Dad's hill. If you see this plaque in the woods up above halfway Flat you will know that you are in a special spot hunted bye a special, Mentor, Father and Friend. P.S. The playboy bunny was a Tattoo he got in the military back in the 60's.

Just thought I would share.

Post by: Deep Forks on August 17, 2010, 10:54:49 PM: A very awesome idea. I also did something like this for my father. He like yours was my mentor, partner, bestfriend and most of all loving dad.
May the mountain spirits protect the tribute from harm as your father watches over. :)

We are all so thankful for all of the memories and all of the lessons learned.
It is a great memorial my friend and one your Dad is looking down and smiling about.
