Do it. These fools keep saying US customs will smash it. I also see your location is my Mom’s house. I can tell you I’ve never seen US customs at my mom’s house. You’ll be fine.
Does anyone have recommendations for a South America waterfowl trip? High volume more than species specific.

Spent some time between there and Leadville this past summer hiking a few fourteeners. I really liked both of those towns.

That’s some clear, good looking, water.
While not a major character, I sympathize with Donald Margolis. He’s probably in the running for killing the most people on the show, but it wasn’t malicious or intentional.

Mono Rock hike was memorable.

Don’t tell the folks at the lodge that, I stayed there last month.

My son (13) and I got drawn for a permit to hike Half Dome later this year. Looks like I’m going back to my favorite park, Yosemite.

I don’t do as much as I like nor as much as a lot of folks here, but I try to make at least one trip a year to hunt something that we don’t have a season for here in MS.

Typically elk and pheasant, this year I’m mixing in a trip to Alberta for ducks/geese.

I have a time slot next week. I did see where ticket prices are pretty high, but it don’t think you have to use visa, that’s just their preferred partner.

It appears the NPS has put a hold on the Chisos mtn lodge renovation in Big Bend. We stayed there a month ago and it’s showing its age, but I’ve stayed in worse/more worn NPS lodges and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. The convenience of staying in Chisos basin far outweighs any downside of the lodge itself, and if you’re doing Big Bend right you should really only be in your room to sleep.

Glad you like it!

My mod is to double the recipe but half the amount of cream cheese while adding about 1 1/2 times the peanut butter.

That’s sounds delicious. I’ll have to give that a shot sometime.

I’ve got four eye bolts (2 front/2back) screwed into the ceiling joists and two cam buckle straps as a cradle that snug my kayak right up to the ceiling.

That’s my method as well.

Va Buckeye lives/lived in Naples. He hasn’t posted since September of last year though. Hope the fella is doing alright, I enjoyed his contributions to the travel board.
