On the home stretch of the hike out, both Pat and I were probably thinking about how vulnerable our position was: trodding along a narrow path in the woods, surrounded on both sides by a nice cover of tall brush.

This season, we’re all crapping our pants over how awesome it is. After getting warm on the $1000 Schwapple [...]
