We made it.
With the plane being over sold it was not looking good for us. As they had offered to other guest booked on the flight $$ to give up there seat and be guaranteed the next flight. But that would not get us a seat anyhow. As they where loading the plane, the ticket lady had told me that they had one extra, and had told the few people that took them up on the money, that they would have to get on and they would not get any money, as they did not need there seats.
While all this was going on I had struck up a conversation with the lady standing next to us . None of it seamed important at the time, as we discussed the normal, who,what, when and where. She was a yuma resident, that had just happen to be coming back from Cbus, where she had been visiting her grandchildren. Of course I had explained our trip out here, and that levi would be meeting his uncle for the first time.
The time had come, all the others were getting on and there was just one extra seat. The woman at the ticket counter had told us that, sorry but better luck next time, unless I just wanted to send levi without me. I had told her that I would pass on that option. All the while , this wonderful lady that I had talked to earlier had over heard our conversation, stopped looked at the employee, and said can I still give up my seat? " yes but you will not be compensated " then she asked am I guaranteed a seat on the next? The ticket worker said that there was one seat left on the next flight, and she would be given that seat.
At that point she told the counter that she was giving up her seat and giving it up to make two seats for levi and i.
I never was able to get her name, as we had to run outside to catch the plane, but I guess it is on me now, to pass it on!

Great to read this John! So many would not have shown that kind of generosity, I'm glad you fellas ran into a good person. That just adds another good memory to what will hopefully be a great memory-filled trip! Looking forward to your updates, good luck!

I've been slacking on this but, there has not been much to report. Yesterday was the first day we made it out. It was only for about half a day, due to doing the run around picking up my tag and Levi's license. Today was most of a full day. I have yet to set foot on a stock. Most of today was spent looking for sign. At the end of the day today 3 doe were sighted, no bucks.

Fresh rain made for lots of muddy roads getting in today. Also made it easy to find the fresh tracks in the sand. Unfortunately we have yet to find any bucks, 8 doe today.
We did set levi up for a little predator calling session to keep him at bay, and change up the pace for him. These are some long hours baking in in the sun and bouncing around a dusty hot jeep, for a 10 year old. My uncles wife keeps telling him if there's a day he would like to sit it out, that she has things to go do with him. His reply is, that he's going with till he shoots a bobcat.
Few pics from today
