Amtrak California Zephyr

I took some time off from hunting to ride a train. The wife and I were gone from 11/15/2023 to 11/22/2023. This was our first Amtrak ride and it was great. Lots of beautiful scenery and nice people. We went from Dallas to Springfield Illinois, got a bus to Galesburg Illinois where we got on the California Zephyr to Emeryville California. We stayed in the Hyatt House, we went out to eat with her California cousins at the Left Bank in Jack London Square then Sunday we were back on the train.

England March 25 2023

My sister and myself came to England in March of 2023 to put my mother's ashes in mine brothers grave, who has been deceased since 1965. Her wish was to have her ashes put in the grave and the North Sea, so this is what we did. Two days later I put them in the North Sea behind the Pakefield church

my crossbow

I have a Barnett Whitetail Hunter STR with a Hawke XB1 scope, the scope has a speed dial so after the 20 yd pin is good you step back to 30 and when that has been sighted in you are good up to 100 yds if you can see that good.
