when John took me in there to see the Keith

exhibit I was looking at the guns on the right wall and had my back to Elmer Keith sitting at his desk. When "he" turned and started talking, it got my attention real quick. But the guns were great to see, especially his big bore double rifles. Being an Africa hunting freak the double guns were the first things I wanted to see. I enjoyed the visit to Elmer and thank John for giving me the chance to see it. The rest of Cabelas did nothing for me.

During the 3 days I spent up there with John and then later Jim Taylor when he got there, were interesting to say the least. John showed me every cafe, restaurant and dining joint in Boise. On one of our first stops, for breakfast if I remember right, before I got out of the truck, I turned to John and told him I was carrying a gun and asked him if he had a gun on too. He said no, then paused and said "I have 3 guns on me". Seems like one was a little J frame smith and the second one was a North American Arms mini revolver. Not sure what the other one was, but knowing John it was probably the big boy of the 3.
