   Prime time is here despite it being a little drier than average(rains have   
   hit spots)   
   Yesterday was a dream day.   
   I can't get tinypic to work, but have pics of chicken mushrooms(sulfer   
   shelf) that covered a 20ft log and wieghed up to 9lbs each.   
   Also found an aspen scabrestalk (bolet) some fawn mushrooms, picked some   
   excellent artists conks. Also numerous other varieties.   
   To top it off my friends gave me wild grapes, I caught a couple of fish, and   
   I gathered red willow and the lady made 'kinnikinik' (sp) for a healthy mild   
   smoke. (saw a bunch of whitetail deer also)   
   Boiled up the sulfer shelf and my friends ate 'chicken sandwiches' and loved   
   it.
