Where's Dennis Greffard, is he hunting with Marky Bark, I heard Dennis was guiding a hunting trip for Barky. Last thing I heard, is that Dennis was throwing rocks at Barky, just so the bear would know who's side Dennis was on.

Actually Gypo, I am back...spent the better part of yesterday and last night trying to figure out how to get through an avalanche that trapped my buddy and I. about 30km back in the bush.

We were driving up this logging road and reached the end of it...we turned around and were heading back down the valley...when about 50 feet in front of us a huge cloud of white poured off the hillside scaring the Hell out of us....when the dust settled, there was a wall of snow about 15 feet deep and 100 feet long in front of us....we explored all the options available, and decided after a couple of futile attempts that our best that we better head for the town and make some calls to get a machine....luckily the girls were with us in another truck on the other side of the slide and came to our rescue about a half hour later...

It took a bobcat with an 8' blade 4 and a half hours to dig a trench through the slide to get the truck through....should be some good pics when they are developed...but 10 seconds sooner and we would have been in the slide....a quick lesson in reality, and also a quick lesson in respect for mother nature.

Hi Dennis......This is Susie here....I've been dying to tell you about how I would find my way out of an avalanche ever since John read me your post tonight. John has decided that he never wants to get stuck in an avalanche with me. I asked him why? He said, "Well if it were up to you.....you would get us asphixiated!" The reason he said that is....I told him that if I were buried in my vehicle under 20 ft of snow that I would simply leave the motor running so we could melt our way out. He looked at me and said, "What? Are you crazy?" I asked him what was wrong with my idea, and he said, "Well the first thing is....if you left the vehicle running we would die of carbonmonixide poisoning......Better known as asphixiated!

Oh Well, I was blonde when I was little

CB (Susie)


P.S, Gypo here... I caught Susie staring at an orange juice container and asked her why, she just said that is says "concentrate", on the box.
