| This part of the trail to Sawmill was very monotonous, in that it varied not one bit. Re-loading our own 30.06 rifle shells. Shooting the 30.06 rifles with the shells we reloaded. Sawmill Cabin Sawmill Campground - Aspen trees Disease or Lightning? |
| The same small trees, the same straight trail. Yet at the same time it did have its charms. A very precise and many-step process. Shooting at our own targets that we provided. View from Sawmill Cabin There was just to many 'struck' at the same height to be lightning? |

| Tobasco Who? In 1993, Dirty Larry was cleaning the coals from the wood burner at Cypher’s Mine with another staff member while joking about what would make a great band name. The door of the wood burner had the name, “Tabasco” on it. A crew from Africa told them a few days prior that they called a wood burner a ‘donkey’. So... The Tobasco Donkeys was born and we’ve been using it ever since. ". . . It really hit home for us when a staff member referred to a water heater as a, ‘tobasco donkey’. A what? They were just water heaters when we worked out there. We have our place in Philmont history. What an honor." . --Dirty Larry Read more of the history of the Tobasco Donkeys on: http://tobascodonkeys.com on the "Tobasco Who?" page. |
