I could not get this part out of my head while looking at the mountains on my drive to work this morning. Down, down, down. This is good Josh, I can't believe I just found it.

Wow I can't wait for the ending.

As much as I hated waiting for the next installment, I am hating even more that it is almost over,lol. You should write a book. Fact or fiction, this story has had me on pins and needles the whole way. Thank you jhg, Mike.

Well, done, Josh!

I was not sure right thru to the end and had to re-read the last paragraph... I wondered if you might make it that once at full draw, the archer counted coup and smiled, let down and thought,"Gotcha"...

I've often wondered if I got such a chance, whether knowing that magical monster would no longer be there, if I could actually go thru with the shot.

Only ONCE got the chance to land a magnificant trout --and as I contemplated that pool without having that big ole buggar, I couldn't do it and had to let it go... later someone "kept it" but hey...I went back and got to "try" a few more times for a "re-match". it was exhalirating!

So I've often wondered, could I follow thru if I had the chance on something like the Monarch?

I likely will never know.

Thank you, Josh for this wonderful read and thank you for allowing me to feel ever pine needle and smell all that I once knew out West in your well-penned words!
