Marksman 830 Hits The Barlow Pioneer Trail In The Dead of Winter 2015

Camp robbers, i.e. Clark's Nutcrackers......once in the Scapegoat Wilderness, MT. I sat by myself on a ridge dressing a bull elk, the camp robbers would come and take pieces of fat I cut for them within arms reach. I welcomed them as my grizzly guards, till my buddy and the three horses got there. I was stupid and carried the rack down the mountain about 200 yards from the gut pile and tied it on a piece of para cord and pulled it up in a thin tree. The next day when I went back for it I started singing Beatles songs and church hymns hundreds of yards away. I quickly cut the cord and took the rack an went as fast as I could down hill...... Younger days sort of like your climbing adventures. Now I walk with a stick just getting to the trout river...... 300

Bravo! All the mountains you could ever want and all you have to do is spin in place with your phone. I can see myself living at altitude and the high desert is such a place. Thank you for the terrific photos. I can actually smell the Juniper trees and see their fluorescent green moss. Yes I can.

Hey you must be politically tough to have your office, unlike mine, inspected by everyone with a badge: bug inspector, weigh master, highway patrol, safety officer, and you name it. Your office has a better view than mine. :thumbup:

That is a very cool sculpture. I had no idea that was there...

I was going through my photobucket album, and found a few more pictures that I thought I would share.
You know where this one was taken :D Mt.Hood on a beautiful day...

Because of what I haul, I really don't get messed with much. Here is my office. I can carry almost 12,000 gallons of gas...

Not at all. Your great photos of those much loved mountains and high desert will keep me going for a full month and they make a terrific bookend to the thread.

This campsite, along the Salmon River, lost half of its top soil when the three tipped into the river:
