Nice grab Monk on the Stag Roper. I have been pretty focused on the #45 pattern and can't
say that I even saw one in Nat Stag yet. I did get the Tomato Prototype though to go with my #66
Dead Skunk Proto, nice pair they make.
If you made it to Vancouver you were almost here, I am in SE AK so pretty darn close. I am a West
Coast kid and know the Oregon and Washington Coasts very well. The Oregon coast is stunning! So is the
Olympic Penn where Barry is from, less well-known and I like his quote 'The Other Washington'...its so true.
My wife and I drove US1 from just south of LA up to Frisco......and that was nice, but I need trees.
I have not been to your neck of the woods. Been to Memphis/Orlando/Daytona/Baton Rouge is as far
as I have made it. Would love to see more of it, esp DC/Ocean City, Eastern KY and a few others. Now that
I am into knives, a trip to that part of the US would have some added fun for sure.
