    Who am I?

    Isadore Christopher is also credited by Mrs. Ashby (whose family purchased his land in 1938) with opening the first BBQ restaurant in Christopher Creek. According to a story in The Whorehouse Bells Were Ringing Isadore was away from his ranch during an Apache raid. The Apaches burned two of his log cabins. The day before the raid “Christopher had killed a bear and had hung the carcass in or on one of the cabins. The military force in pursuit of the Indians included the legendary scouts Tom Horn and Al Sieber. They, along with the troops and other scouts decided that the burned bear carcass was Christopher and gave it a decent, solemn Christian burial. They became the objects of laughter and jokes when Christopher later appeared and identified the body.” the third and also infamous scout should be an easy guess. i first read this tale elsewhere-perhaps slim ellison-but this is about all i could find online.

    a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away Mikey was 10 or 11 and we were taking the smallbores-and the roberts 'course- up to st johns for some doggie and dog shootin'. this came on kslx just as we hit the beeline. that 440 had the beast really shakin' when we passed 4 peaks turnoff-had to reel it back in some. will never forget that. lee

    1st AZ tag

    i have observed a strange phenomena in coues camps thoughout baja Arizona over the last 25 years. one of the group shows up after dark with a buck and everybody gets happy, back slaps and tequila passed around for a coues buck, any coues buck. but if it looks like it could gross 100" something strange happens. like half the camp will be pulling 48" sewing tapes out of their pockets wrapped up tight with rubberbands-"ya want me to tape it out?" i wonder if anyone else has observed this bizarre behavior? i have no idea what i was gettin' at. that is one nice buck-1st or otherwise. lee?

    Veterans Day-they are not forgotten

    High Flight is one of the greatest and most famous of all poems in this big world. the young author was an Anglo-American fighter pilot with the RCAF and died at the stick of his spitfire in 1941 at the age of 19 during the Battle of Britain. RIP John Gillespie Magee, Jr. a veteran we can all honor this Veterans Day. Churchill put it best-"Never was so much owed by so many to so few." Ronald Reagan used the first and last lines of the poem in his speech in the aftermath of the Challenger disaster.
