Ever skin a Griz?

Hawk. Goin' for the Musselshell. Take me a week's ridin', and he'll be there in... hell, he's there already.

I, Hatchet Jack, being of sound mind and broke legs, do leaveth my rifle to the next thing who finds it, Lord hope he be a white man. It is a good rifle, and killeth the bear that killeth me. Anyway, I am dead. Sincerley, Hatchet Jack.

Where you headed? Same place you are, Jeremiah: hell, in the end.

Are you all right? Sure, sure, I got a fine horse under me! [sneezes] Got one of them feathers in my nose. You keep sneezing, it'll come out all right. Haven't seen anyone pass by recent, have you? Nobody's gone in front of me. Can't say what's happened behind me, though.
Jeremiah Johnson: The Injuns put you here? T'weren't Mormons. A Chief, name of Mad Wolf. Nice fella, don't talk a hell of a lot. Say, you wouldn't have an extra hat on you, would you? Shade's getting' scarce in these parts. What'd you shave your head for? Mad Wolf figures like every other ***** I know. Says this scalp isn't fit for no decent man's lodgepole. Ain't the first time I've protected my head in such a way. Name's Del Gue, with an "e".


So, if things around here haven't changed much in 160 years, you might find that a .50 caliber rifle and a shaved head may come in handy.

RFLMAOOOOOOOO!!! Here's hoping reality is at least a third as pleasing as fantasy.

Cool ???

I loved the title of your post and that alone caused me to read it.

Just a mention that if Jeremiah Johnson moved to Colorado, circa 2007, he probably wouldn't choose Evergreen, nice as it is.

All the best.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the Jerimiah Johnson movie was filmed in UTAH! Most of it was filmed around what is now Robert Redford's resort development at Sundance, northeast of Provo. NONE of the movie was filmed in Colorado . . .
