Ive been thinking. now that Matt and Jed are here, one or two of us could leave to check up on the outside world and our families and still have two back here to guard the fort. I know Jay wants to head east to check out his clan and i want to go west to lemmon and lodgepole to check my family. you could make the ride in one day to lemmon, granted it would be a hard day but you could do it. another day to go to lodgepole and and a day back on each leg. its doable. we'd have to pull a good sled with supplies and gear but we could do it. we'll discuss this all tomorrow and come up with a plan.
