14 Oct., 2008 -- A friend's adventure

This story is so unusual, I just had to use it today.

Nora with golden eagle.

Scott with Goshawk.

My high schoolmate Scott and his wife Nora went from their home in San Diego to Montana to capture and band golden eagles recently.

Here is Scott's story:

"We landed in Jackson Hole, drove to Montpelier, ID to visit with my 89 year old uncle, then drove to Wolf Creek MT (about 6 hours north) where we spent 5 days, then in a driving snow storm, through Yellowstone in two days and back to Jackson Hole – still snowing. The trip was super, but quick."




Scott was a two-tour helicopter pilot in Viet Nam, and he survived a crash. He and I share
the same birthday, too. Good ole boy!
