Almost There....

Aspen Hill AdventuresAlmost There....
I'm packing tonight, shooting one more time tomorrow morning. Fly out EARLY Sunday morning. Will get to pester Greg R on the plane over. He said he is buying all the booze.
First stop for me is Chewore North with the Buzzer though something tells me Will only left duikers and bobos for me to shoot. Then back to RSA for some plains game bow hunting with my long time PH partners.
Looking forward to the first sunset of the trip.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

bwanamrmGood luck, Ann...you and Buzz will have an outstanding hunt! I promise.
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Aspen Hill AdventuresThanks for the well wishes from all of you! After missing last year due to health reasons (it was better to stay closer to home) I am really happy to be able to return to Africa.
And it has been my tradition to start each new year of my life there, can't think of a better way to do it!
I have vowed to take many more photos than usual, I'll probably burn my digital camera up! I hope to have some good video as well.

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

Good luck with your elephant.
I think the "Buzz" crowd might appreciate some 'small talk'.

Aspen Hill AdventuresJohn,
I just hope a little skinny guy like Buzz won't have any trouble keeping up with me.
Just finished up at the rifle range, gun and ammo is getting packed up now.
