Just reading threads here it is obvious that many on PP have a wide "support system" that makes our time in the field/on the water even more precious as we are tied together.

Thanks.


Very true! I'm of the mind that I've done more in my 42 years than I had ever imagined. I am slowly passing the torch on to my 10yr old. I'll not take very many more (if any) big trips without him. He'll be my new Alaska companion. As I've gotten older and spent a lot of time doing some epic trips but something was missing that I couldn't put my finger on. Last August on a high Mtn lake in the Chugach I realized that my Son should be with me and vowed he would from then on.

Nice thread Carcassman!
