There's bears though, isn't there? 
Ya know, the two of you haven't been on at the same time, but Lee is up in North Cali too....with bears, and cougars, and other things that might eat you.

Haha...well, I complain plenty about the conditions here too.
Although, today was 50 degrees...so I can't right now. Oh yeah, no bears ('cept football) here either.
Eh, I never had problems when I lived out in the wilds, and I was there for 4 years. Mostly had problems with the other people in the area
I object! He's probably faster with the shotgun, so he needs to be the one to shoot it... So please use my head. It's big, it's hard, and has lots of hair!
LMAO...well, whoever's head is the closest when I see that bear....I'm an indiscriminate head-jumper.

Haha, yea there are bears. They come into town alot in the winter for the garbage cans. And mountain lions, they come into town every now and then too. But you don't have to worry much about them. Most people around here carry firearms.
Lee doesn't live that far from where I do.

Taken out of context JUST because it was too darn funny. I'm crying here!
Good grief...now I'm torn between creepy stalking you both in the same trip, or being way to scared of a being lunch for a bear (I looked it up, and it's not a good idea to hit them with a stun-gun) and trying to entice you to Chicago.

And I wouldn't have it any other way. I was laughing as I typed it.

Could always hit up Jersey before I move to Florida! We got Devils and Eagles!
Red Wings and Packers FTW.
OK, here's the footwear reality. I know I can't compete with the cowboy boots. so ... pretty much signing off.
But rock on brothers and sisters

Haha, that was good.
Speaking of vreepy stalking, I have a story.
I went to the bar one afternoon just to have a beer. The place was empty except for some dude I had never seen before and some gal. There were down at the other end talking and I was watching the football game, enjoying just sitting quiet and drinking a beer. After I was there for about 10 minutes, the lady walks down to where I'm sitting and asks me, "do you know what the difference between a missionary and a mercinary is?" I tell her that, yea, I do. She wants an explination so I tell her. She then tells me that this other dude is telling her that he;s a mercinary. OK I say, and she walks back down to the other end of the bar again. I go back to watching the game.
After awhile, the fella gets up to use the bathroom. As soon as he's gone,the lady hightails down to where I'm sitting again and asks me how old I am. I tell her and she asks me if I have any kids. Yep I say. At this point, the guy comes out of the bathroom. The gal see's him, turns to me and says, 'Some people are just f*****in liars!" And away she goes back down the bar.
I reckon she;s right but want no part of it so finish my beer and leave.
A few days later, my wife and I go to the bar to have a little time out. We're there for a little while when same gal walks in. She sits next to my wife while I'm talking to a friend who's sitting next to me as well. After awhile, my wife turns to me and tells my that this crazy lady sitting next to her is going on to my wife how gorgeous I am (I did say she's crazy). She doesn't know she's talking to my wife and my wife thinks this is just funny as heck. Well, we stay a short while and go home.
So a few days after that, I'm walking down the street when someone walks up behind me and falls into walking along with me. There she is, wearing short shorts and a halter top. "I was looking for you", she says. "Well, here I am", I say not knowing what to say. She starts talking, telling me about her life and such. I'm really not used to stuff like this so I wasn't sure how to deal with it so I just told her I was on my way to meet my wife.
I haven't been to the bar since but I have seen her following me a couple times.
She seems nice (and crazy) and I don't want to make her feel bad but I sure don't know what to do.
I don't know how close you mean, but I will be at the Firehouse bar in Anderson tomorrow night. Stop by if you are that close. Lee really is my name, and I used to be the bouncer there, so if you ask for me, someone will point you in my direction...plus I am kinda tall, with shoulder length dark hair. I am easy to find...I am usually somewhere near the band
And I had to shoot a mountain lion last winter, when it got a little too bold, and lost all fear of man.. sad in a way, but it does happen, and I am not risking it when I have a young daughter

Use pepper spray for bears... Not kidding, that is what Fish and Wildlife carry for bears... But I really do nt worry about bear that much. I am thinking I might just name the blonde sow that is hanging around (a female bear is a sow)... If she starts getting to be too much of a problem, I have a .338 magnum above the upstairs deck door... She would make a great rug.
Fairly close, Quincy. I used to go to Anderson every now and then when I was driving chip truck, can't remember the name of the place. It was a powerplant down there somewhere.
I remember a few years back, at the SP sawmill on the night shift, there was a lion wandering around, dodging forklifts and LeTourneaus. They called out a local fella who treed it with his dogs and took it out. For the most part though they aren't to bad of a problem except they have a liking for housecats.
you are a little closer to me than you thought...I am actually a little east of Shingletown, on Highway 44 (between Shingletown and Viola), but no one knows where that is, So I think I put Redding on my profile

I hear ya.

Only two strings away from an attitude problem.
I used to go to summer camp in Redding! We'd hike Mt. Lassen, what a great place. Good memories! I was thinking the other day that the pics of your house reminded me of Lassen, but work intervened and didn't get to post it.
And you are correct about peppper spray and bears, but make sure you have a lot of it because they are tenacious muffers. here's a scary story bout it:

But a good story because they all escaped unscathed. Remember that wind currents will affect the effectiveness of OC, it might blow back on you too. this doesn't happen with stream sprays much, but remember that it's really difficult to aim when you're scared out of your mind and stream canisters require a bit of marksmanship. I'd go with conical mist, at the highest percentage you can find.
I just realized how weird it is to be posting about this on a bass forum!
Usually things like this pop up on mountaineering sites, funny. That's CWB for ya
Haha, that was good.

Seriously, tell your wife this is happening. Blindsided spouses get unhappy... cool vid back there too, I used to drive a Peterbilt water-truck for the county about 2 decades ago, fun times.
