Treasure Chest
Just For Fun
This picture is from back in my Hopalong Cassidy days. I wasn't much of a gunslinger, but I sure liked these outfits. Can you spot the author in this photo? (Pass your mouse over the cowboy you think is Will—the answer will appear below.) The other two kids are my brothers, Greg and Ed. Ten points if you guess on your first try, five points on your second, and moldy cheese if it takes you three.
SEE YOU ON THE TRAIL
Will and Matt
I've gone on over thirty backpacking trips in the Weminuche Wilderness of southwestern Colorado. My novels Bearstone and Beardance take place there along the Continental Divide. I like to go out for a week at a time, visiting the high lakes and streams. Everything I need for a week is on my back, from my tent to three meals a day. My nieces and nephews have gone on quite a few of these trips with me, and of course, Jean loves hiking in these mountains.

In the photo above, my nephew Matt and I are about to descend to Lost Lake. On that trip, the most rugged of our hikes, we fished ten of the high lakes. Matt grew up wild about the high country. We’ve logged sixteen backpack trips together in the Weminuche Wilderness.

Keep it wild!
