I would say that almost looks like a run away truck ramp on the west side of Vail Pass on I-70
It’s got to be that one! I agree. Lol.
 
A long time ago, I was riding a train with two elderly hunters. One of them said that he was in the troops that were sent to Cuba during the "missile crisis". They were sailing on an ordinary transport ship. The mood was not very cheerful, because they were accompanied by American ships and planes, and there was no cover (our fleet was weak even then). A military doctor handed out cotton swabs to the officers - "when we are drowning, plug your ears so that the water does not pour in." The personnel were in the holds (without air conditioning), and the property was stored, including on the deck. The foremen gathered everything, because it was not known in advance where they were being sent, and the year - 1957 - was very interesting. Including skis for the entire battalion, which were lying on the deck in bundles. The American decoders of the intelligence photos must have been in some difficulty.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
