Nordeg / Wknd
Spent the long wknd in Nordeg hunting.
On the way out saw the aftermath of a fatal car crash on hwy #11, puts aknot in your stomac. Got out Saturday morning, going to an area we call elk and with the rain you can only imagine the clay based roads. You got it went around a corner that sloped and of course the Dodge diesel 4x4 went into the ditch. Up to the top of the front wheel on the drivers side. So we paid a guy ($100.00) with a 6.0ltr Ford diesel to pull us out, well we were being pulled out a rock wripped the valve stem off as we were hauled backwards in the clay. We thanked the guy for the pull, proceeded to undress into "gonch" and change the tire he rain. As we lay in the mud and the clay, digging out the tire up to our a$$ in mud. As we jacked the truck up the jack would sink into the mud, we continued to place rocks into the hole over and over again until the jack held and lifted the truck enough we could change tires. My hunting partner made great sense and light of it all. He said I'd rather be doing this than sitting at home thinking about hunting. We laughed and we both thought of many of the people we know faced with the same situation, they wouldnt know where to begin. Anyway out we get, clothes in back of truck, bathed in a water hole beside the road to get the mud and clay off, dryed off with hunting clothes and off to Rocky Mtn House. Got there a 2:01pm, 1 minute after Kal tire closed. guys were still there and helped fix the tire. To boot they were not going to charge us, we paid the guy for his help even though he didnt want money for it (Great guys). To the laundry mat and for a bite to eat. Back out hunting. Highlight of the wknd was drawing back on a bear at 30 yards and catching movement behind the bear, you bet a cub, actually 2 cubs. I let down smiled and watched her stand on her hind legs and pop her jaws sending one cub running and the other up the tree. Was a poor start but as any a great trip out!
