Well not a typical vacation, but then I don't really do normal so it works for me .
On our way to the hog ranch I took advantage of an invitation to visit a member about 50 miles out of route (80 miles total isn't much on a 3300 trip) . I have to say Ranch Dog has an amazing place and was a great host in spite of the short 3hr visit .
It was our annual trip to harass the hogs in Tx . This year was a little more special for me than the past trips . This trip included my Ms and lifetime friend and a guy from my fireman days and his dad as usual but my daughter joined us this year and brought along her Marine . He is a total city boy . He's 30 something and never been hunting before . As a trained Marine he had a little trouble with having only 20 rounds to hunt 3 days and kill maybe 4 hogs and check sights. With that resolved he and my daughter took 3 between them and he is hooked on the whole package .

Since my daughter has always been a hunter and her man is now hooked I will get to have Christmas with them and my new (and only) grandson,as long as we can work in a hunting trip or 2 . The ducks and geese should be thick here as the usual ponds and lakes have dried up all ready and dwindled to about 25% of count and less than half of surface everywhere within 100 miles,this should be a shoe in.
I have some more pictures but they seem to be in the other phone.
