Wolfdad told me to come and meet him at work in Downtown. I know which one he is but I am not telling.

We had a great dinner and it was nice to get away from the Strip for a change. We sat at the bar and talked guns and knives the whole time - the women sitting next to us must have thought we were real freaks.

I went and met Rocco, fell in love with him (Rocco, not Wolfdad). He is a fantastic puppy, beautiful lines, well trained, alert and playful. We became instant friends. I also saw Wolfdad's Busse collection including his Saber Ground ASH-1s which I had never handled before.

Though I visit Vegas every year I never would have guessed that snow and ice was to be found not far away. We went for a very enjoyable hike up Mount Charleston and spotted some deer on the way home.

The pictures are not great, I only had my phone camera with me.

Thanks Roger for taking the time to show me around and letting me spend time with you and Rocco. I had a great time and look forward to seeing you guys again soon.

That looks amazing. I apparently went to the wrong part of Vegas. All i got to see was lights and crowds. Would have had much more fun with you guys i think.

Great looking country! I had no idea that kind of country was around vegas... beautiful.

Two things really stick out from your pics:

1. Great knives

2. Great looking dog

However, your lack of abdominal development (beer-belly) is quite disturbing. Work on that... m-kay.... :D

Thanks for the photos and welcome to Vegas! There is quite a bit of natural beauty around here for those who take the time to look. I don't get out to the Mt. Charleston area enough.

That's one good looking German Shepherd! Great dogs.

great pics man! I think I'm going back up this weekend to try and locate some different camp sites and trails. I wish we had gotten a couple of pics of those mule deer....especially those three big bucks.

The great looking, in shape guy is Wolfdad. There is a reason I am never in front of the camera.
 
Lord I love that country!!! Always said if I left Alaska I'd head down there somewhere. Gotta be near mountains. Thanks for the pics Bro...
 
Beautiful scenery and a good lookin dog!

My only question is why wolfdad is wearing a bikini in the first pic!?!?? Its a bit disturbing honestly.:confused::eek:

That is not what I pictured in my mind when Vegas was mentioned. That is some very beautiful scenery. Thank's for sharing.:thumbup:
 
Thanks for sharing. Nature looks impressive. And what a great dog - German roots just like me.
 
Man, that is some amazing country :eek: :thumbup:


That would be one hell of a place to shoot and practice some distance shots :D
 
To echo what everyone said, I had no idea that could be found outside Vegas...just beautiful. And Rocco really does just look great...an awesome dog.

:D I was waiting for someone to mention something about that. l2, I thought I told you to crop me out of that picture!!?? Now everyone will know what I do to be able to afford Busse knives. BTW, I spent a couple of hours in the gym that day working upper body in case anyone doesn't believe that it's me.
