Coincidence? Ha, ha, ha - NO.

It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.

Picked up my "Golden Ticket" at yesterdays stewards winter check-in meeting. Anytime, anywhere access in Deschutes NF and Three Sisters (and Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Washington) Wilderness. Mandatory adventure for me and Katy is to sprinkle some of Maverick's ashes at the summit of South Sister. ❤️🐕🦺

Our neighbors Kicki and Russ gave us this awesome and beautiful pillow remembrance of Maverick. Katy and I put it in Maverick’s favorite place to snooze, on the loveseat upstairs next to Dad’s spot.
Thank you Kicki and Russ - we ❤❤❤ it!
