Fun with family goes on. We went jeeping on Almont Triangle yesterday and had a picnic lunch up on top. The views go on forever. We were all alone until a DOW truck pulled up and a young guy whose job this summer is tracking the big horn sheep jumped out. Really, that's his entire job everyday. Can you imagine? Most of the sheep are collared, so he has headphones & antenna to track their movements. The big horn are struggling to survive for a variety of reasons, so I hope this tracking program helps. And, no, we didn't see a one. We did see some scientists from RMBL (Gothic based) sticking different colored flags in the ground with no pattern we could discern. Lisa was the only one willing to jump out of the jeep & go ask. They're studying aphids,secretions of aphids on certain plants, and some other stuff that you need a biology degree to understand. Interesting jobs around here...
A wonderful mountain rainstorm finally came to our house. Thunder reverberating through the mountains is a unique sound. Let's have some more!
Dinner out to meet an old friend and then back home to more coyote howls. You can definitely hear the little ones yip, yipping in the mix. Lots of deer around and saw a huge herd of elk plus babies on Castleton Ranch property (our neighbors) on our way back from town last night. We see a lot more animals than people some days. Yes, very weird, I know...
