Ahhh, Jonny, but the snow is always a comin'. Mine also are ash and varnished rawhide. I love the old-fashioned ways (not to mention the newfangled aluminum and neoprene models aren't that good at floating 250 lbs plus 50 lbs of gear)! Also with the old-fashioned theme and your excellent mood pp go the heating vent duct grate in the floor and the old fireplace. Very cool work.

My snowshoes are the Michigan, or teardrop, style. You know, it would be a good deal to plan to get out together on snowshoes and cameras sometime this winter.

We all meet each other over the electronic waves, and I know those Twin Cities pukes have had their share of photo get-togethers. Ain't many up here on the Range. Anyway, shoot me an e-mail if that's something you're interested in.

And, in any case, hope your birthday night goes as well as your birthday day.

and thanks Tom! ..........Steve,I think that would be a great idea to head into the brush some weekend to search for some critters or what have you ,be nice if it'd snow though ...I frequented the Sax-Zim bog regularily(looking mainly for the great grey owls eagles etc.) last mid winter and found a few wolf kills (deer carcasses)that were pretty well chewed up,not only by wolves but the fox, coyotes, and other meat eaters.i never really stayed any length of time near these kills to photo anything but there's always this year...and of course there's your neck of the woods...been awhile since I've been on snowshoes.will haveto make a few trial runs before I "hit the swamps".lol! ...as you see, the snowshoes I have are the "Alaskans" but I was really leaning on the "ojibwa's"...mainly because they have pointed tips for "parting the brush"(those indians had her figured out!)...but.the alaskans will work just fine..here's the ojibwa's...jonny

[Steve Foss]

Jonny, you just let me know, and we'll go.

You take those Ojibwe shoes and round the tops and you'll have my Michigans. I think the Ojibwes are a better design up here than the Michigan, because of the way they part the brush, as you said, but mine were also a December birthday present, and I'm unwilling to give them up.

Happy belated birthday Jonny.
