Most women can't stand the smell of a cowboy after he has disounted from
a horse
and if he is not a real cowboy, he is like any other guy in a city bar.

What outdoor club, one that is for the protection of wildife where the
only
shooing is done with a Camera or an outdoor club that takes people
hunting to
shoots first with a weapon of choice and asks no questions then takes
out his
camera for his second shoot of day and takes pictures as proof for his
friends
back home?

Most sights these days require personal information which and a global
web is asking
for trouble.

What a shame that the only sled dog adventure site to promote on
your site is in Minnesota! It (White Wilderness) looks like a great
organisation, but if there was a similar one in Canada we'd be
there like a shot.

I lived in Alberta for a long time and found it a bit boring. Nice people
and nice place to live but it seemed like a lot of folks lived like "wannabe
cowboys" or "wannanbe Texans". I knew LOTS of people that wore big brimmed
hats and big belt buckles and yet they worked at wal-mart or Canadian Tire
and never actually worked on a ranch. Seems a bit HALLOWEEN to dress like a
cowboy/cowgirl for 12 months and be in the rodeo for a week out of the year.

I GUESS you make good points. Perhaps my saying it was "BORING" was not
correct. There are a lot of nice things that you pinted out. While they are
nice I would not call them EXCITING. More like just ...nice.
