Boys Will Be Boys

There are just times in my life where I just have to thank God for making me a woman. There are things about guys that are funny but strange at the same time. The things they do just don't sound like a lot of fun to me, but boys will be boys.

For Example...

This last May, my husband Jason and his buddy Jason Miller, decided to drive into the mountains and go black bear hunting. They chose a back road that was covered in snow. Along the way, they came upon some fallen trees that were over the road. This did not dampen their spirits, as they merely got out and pulled, pushed and moved the trees out of the way.

Along their way, they stopped to admire a herd of elk that were grazing. Too bad they weren't in season.
With the apparent thaw of the land, it wasn't long before the boys found themselves in a little predicament. My excitement level would have been on the rise at this point. But being the boys they are, they egged each other on and thought they could make it through the big mud puddle. Obviously, the land won that match. After a few hours of digging in the mud with their hands and feet trying to get unstuck, they had to walk a couple of miles to get to the highway. Who should be passing by but a game and fish officer. He brought them to the nearest restaurant and phoned his superior, who turned out to be a nephew of a friend of ours. He took the guys up to where they were, but even with his truck he couldn't get them out. So they had to leave Miller's truck in the mountains until it dried up enough that they could get it out. The game and fish guy took them down the road only to get stuck himself. Again, it took a while to dig him out but they did it. But along came a little beaver pond that they had to cross. He miss judged where the road was and ended up... sinking half the truck in the pond. They also had to keep the truck running because the exhaust was under water. The started to strap the truck to trees hoping this would help keep the truck up and hopefully pull them out. What they couldn't see was that they were caught on a sunken log and no amount of straps would get them out. So the had to call up a level and call the Feds. They came out with a truck and after much pulling, they pulled the wedged truck out of the water. But now it was dark and very late. The game and fish was even nice enough to drive them into Cody to Miller's house. Jason called me after midnight to come and get him. I'd already been wondering where they were. Well, what a story I had waiting for me.

Now, to me, that just wouldn't have been fun, and at times it wasn't fun for them either. They did come out of it alive and with only some wet clothes and an adventure to tell their friends.

Boys, gotta love 'em but thank God I'm a girl!
