    Hello from on Fire Colorado

    Thank you all for the kind reception and words of encouragement. Have you ever heard of a hunter having his ashes scattered in Africa? I mentioned it to my wife, in passing, one day and she thought it was a wierd thought.

    Hello from on Fire Colorado

    Ever since I was 8 years old it has always been my dream to go to Africa. I am now 57 years old and my dream is still to go to Africa. I will be more of a reader than writer on this site, but there appears to be so much to read and learn a guy will not be bored.
