Hi guys - hey Bill, Ed howsit?

Yep I'm in Orygun now. Moving to Bend was great except for the collapse of the real estate market. The back property line is part of a ridge of lava flow about 2 miles long. From my lot to the next it jumps 30 feet up a rhyolite wall thats nice to climb on. Its not real high, but a traverse across the back works your fingers and keeps the deer out of the enclosed yard. I do have a climbing partner on her way back from New Zealand (shes 21) and when shes back we'll climb at Smith Rock which is 25 miles from here.

I'll admit that since many of my BPing friends have grown old, I've taken to taking young ladies on gourmet camping trips during warm weather so the can "sun" themselves. A warmlight Down Filled Airmattress makes a great barge so we always find a private lake in the Sierras somewhere in August. Its MUCH warmer down there at night.
I live 20 miles from Mt Bachelor ski area and three sisters wilderness and 25 miles from Smith Rock in an old grand hunting lodge style home.

I used to carry a Gerber LST, but I lost it. On my last trip I had an obsidian bladed stag horn handles knife that cut the steak very well. A flake of obsidian can skin out a deer as fast as any modern knife.

Went BPing in Oregon Dunes state park a week go with internet friends. The last time they were there my camping friends watched a mtn lion chase a deer near the beach.
