FIRE AT ALTA LAKE

First came the weather reports; Expect thunderstorms
Then came lightning strikes
Then came fire reports
Then came high alerts
Then came evacuations
Then came the firestorm itself and it's devastation
Then came the aftermath and it's destruction
Then came the media
Then came the insurance people
Then came the looters and thieves
Then came the National Gaurd
Then came the looky-loo's and 100 questions each

And then...came the dumb-asses. My conversation with one yesterday went like this;

Du***ss; 'Can you help me?'
Me; 'How?'
Du***ss; 'Where can we go to see the actual fire still burning?'
Me; 'You can go straight to hell'

The du***ss gave me the finger, spun gravel at me with his rear tires and sped off down the road, not understanding I was trying to be helpful by giving him a straight and honest answer!

Saddle up, Cowboy: the 21st Annual Ride to Rendezvous returns next week from the Washington Outfitters & Guides Assoc.!

Monday-Friday, May 6th-10th: The ride includes teamsters and trail riders (bring your own stock or rent from the outfitters). You can even ride in a wagon! You'll spend the week riding historical routes through the Methow Valley. Volunteers will move your gear each day and set up camp kitchens for meals. Hay is supplied for your horses, and each evening there will be a campfire and entertainment. Bring your guitar; everyone is welcome to participate. The conclusion of the ride parades through downtown Winthrop; kicking off the annual 49er Day Celebration.

Speaking of which... THE 31ST ANNUAL 49ERS DAY PACKERS RENDEZVOUS is Friday, May 10th-12th, including display camps, vendors, live auctions and steak dinner with bites from all the outfitters kitchens.

Sunday Morning they host a Buckaroo breakfast followed by the packer’s competition and live auction.
