Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Those are wonderful pictures Wayne. Looks like 1960's or 70's...?
In that second picture, it doesn't look like a cap gun on your hip. Very young to have been trained and trusted to have a pistol. Your Dad must have been a very special guy.

These photos were taken in 1964. We carried the 22 revolvers loaded with birdshot since the area was rattlesnake infested. Today I wouldn't think of shooting a snake I came across on the trail. We hung the trout up to dryout at night and rolled them up on the outside of the sleeping bags when we hiked out of the canyon.
At home, we soaked the trout in the sink to rehydrate them and then froze them to eat at a later date. They tasted fine.
