Selling soap next three weekends, maybe after that?
That's a pretty good hike for you. Isn't there a WMA up your way?
Heirloom Firearms?

Mine are simple and some not here yet, luckily.
I have 2 from one grand father.
A Old S&W 32 long colt I-frame that was in the family since his father, and was used to protect their family store/gas station.
And a S&W 19-5 4" blued that he kept under his pillow.
I'm supposed to be getting my other grandfathers old S&W 29 8" Dirty Harry version he bought right after the movies came out and he laid a PREMIUM for it then, in the next few weeks, it has been locked up at the bank for about 10 years or so.
I have two old rifles one from my uncle an old 1950's Colt "The Colteer" 1-22 and the other was from my grandmas family a old 1930's Winchester model 67 she said that rifle was how her family survived during the Great Depression when shotgun shells and buckets cost to much a handful of 20 22's meant at least 20 rabbits, squirrels, turkeys or whatever on the table. Most accurate .22 I have ever shot.
Some day I will inherit my fathers guns but hopefully not for many many many years!

The old I-Frame S&W 32 long. If you look closely you can see the edge of the barrel is worn down at an angle. Apparently that is from my great grandfather where every night when he got home he would tuck it in between the mattress and box spring and it wore it down over the years of that routine. Still shoots amazing, and I would not hesitate to carry it, if need be one day.
The old S&W 19-5. Wasn't shot much since he bought it new way back when and is impeccable shape.
My prized Winchester model 67 27" barrel. Thus is the one I was saying my grandmother said got her family through the Great Depression.
And here are some of mine I hope my kids/Grandkids one day will treat like heirlooms. Beretta 92A1, 1942 Rock-Ola M1 carbine, Remington 700 BDL .30-06, S&W 686-1 4" among other but these are my favorite.
It's not too bad really, plus I have some family that just moved about 5 miles from Charlie Elliott that I haven't seen in a while so I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

No, Chris was helping to put the shoot on. He ended up buying it from the guy who owned it at the time.
You're right, haven't seen Flame in awhile.
