re: Best outdoor memory with dad or grandfathers

This isn’t the best actual memory, but it’s the most memorable thing my grandfather ever did for me.

We lived in New Mexico when I was in grade school so my grandfather flew in to make a deer hunt with us, I was about 11. We were crossing a river bed between ridges and I hear my grandfather get excited. I turn around and I had just walked over an indian spear point. This thing was made out of chipped rock obviously and about 4-5 inches long and immaculate. It was huge and awesome especially for a boy of about 11. I asked if I could have it and he told me something appropriate about me missing it and him finding it and it being a lesson to look where you step. I was pretty freaking bummed, and the hunt sucked we didn’t see shite so that’s all I thought about. 3-4 months after the hunt I received a package in the mail, my grandfather had a plaque made for me with his and I’s picture together on the hunt and the spear head on it. It’s in my office today.
