Time Travel

Last Monday I posted a photo taken during a spring turkey hunt in May of 2002.  I had found the digital scan of the original 35mm old-school photo surfing a collection of older and forgotten pictures stashed in an electronic file. 

Here are some additional photos taken back at camp.  Look at the beard on that gobbler!

And yup - that is the same Chevy pick-up I'm still driving.  Shinier and without the dents of course.  These photos was taken back at Hidden Ridge where we owned the park model trailer home.  I think I had to instruct my neighbor Rollie on how to snap the photo for me.  When we moved into the trailer home my daughter and her pal promptly christened it - The Villa.  Ostensibly a pre-adolescent attempt at humor and sarcasm over the size of the new chalet in the woods.  Nowadays these small manufactured homes (complete with wheels and a  tornado magnet behind the skirt) are called Tiny Houses.  I am proud to be an individual endowed with the wisdom of great foresight and vision having owned and lived in a Tiny House before it became chic and trendy.  But I digress.

Dead bird on the deck awaiting plucking and cleaning.  It was a two beer bird - if you know what I mean.

Bird in the sink for the plucking of the pin feathers and a final rinse before heading for the freezer.

These old photos bring back a flood of fond memories.  I'm sure more are out there to be discovered.  Stay tuned...
