READY, AIM, FIRE


Where we live, we are surrounded on all sides by National Forests.  Craig has been longing to go exploring and find a place to do some shooting.  So last week, when he was home on time off, we took off in the pickup and drove deep into forest land, where there were no more pavement, and walked through vegetation to find a clearing to do some shooting.
You can see from the photos that the only thing we had handy to use as targets were paper plates.  They didn't stand a chance and were soon looking like Swiss cheese by the time we packed it in to go home.  It really is great to live in the area that we do, with so much of the outdoors to be enjoyed.  I hope we never take it for granted just how lucky we are to live where we do.


Only 44 more months for Craig before he can be home full time and not drive truck anymore.  Maybe sooner if I keep playing the lottery!
