Subject: Deer Roping at it's Best ! I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it. The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that since they congregated at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of...

Stayed at the above CP last night on our way to Lighning Ridge. The park has just been taken over by a new owner and based on what we experienced is worth a stay. $24 gives you power, water and very good amenities. They have cleaned the place up big time from what I heard about the previous owners. It is a good...

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY - PENSIONERS VERSIONThe heat from the fire was comforting as the three electric bars glowed brightly in their metal cage.
