Rite of passage.

A local beer long gone.

McCulloch yellow.

An all-American workhorse.

Panmunjom on the Korean DMZ. Note the S. Korean soldier with one stink eye on the Norks and keeping half of his body protected. The problem is he is right-handed and his sidearm is behind the peace talks building. A southpaw would be better suited.

Overnight camp on the Teviot in Riders of Rohan County.

Drink local.

Old trout taxidermy

The Nam River in S. Korea. I caught a lot of non-native largemouth bass along the cliffs of the rock island. Wade out, bang a streamer against the rock face, let it sink for a moment and strip it in.

Tomorrow River brownie.

The toughest fighter in the river.
