Go over the 4th - and say Howdy to all my old Doodlebugger friends - I'm supposed to be there ... but I moved. There will be about 3000 of them - but as I say they'll be down in Star Valley - Alpine as there are too many other conventions in Jackson over the 4th. We used to base it at Mosquito Creek - but the forestry traded that area and it is now private land. If you take a raft-ride, look for Keith Masterovich (sp?) - he runs one out of Alpine running the Snake. You can also trip down the Hoback - I used to live in there - at Battle Mountain - and once won a bar/restaurant/motel with a separate log cabin on over in Bondurant in a poker game. I took the fool's wife into the back and signed the place over to her with the instructions "never let him hold title to your life again". This was well over 20 years ago - and last time thru, about 8 years ago, the place was abandoned. They also have an interesting taxidermy in the Bondurant store - cross between a lynx and a bobcat.
