DCR,

Okay, what if he said "NO" to someone in need of help or comes running to him for help? What would you do if you were in his shoes?

This sounds me like one of those, "Damned if you do and Damned if you don't" situations to me.

Mike uses common sense and runs the ranch quiet well, I've witnessed it first hand many many times. He knows how to deal with situations up there and has helped many in time of need.

DCR, I think I have met you at the hot springs once or twice. Perhaps the best advise I could give at the moment, would be to pay Mike a visit at the ranch and have a little chat with him. He'll fill you in with the specifics of the situation we speak of here. He's far more qualified to so than I.

I hope my answer to your question was of some help.
