Are you headed back over this weekend?

Yes. We are hoping to leave home today no later than 1pm and be in the canyon glassing by 3pm.


I'm on the fence about going over since my buddies can't break free this weekend. I might just go to see what's left on the mountain and lend a helping hand. Did you connect with Joe?

Sounds good! Really interested to see what the big change in weather does to the sheep activity and movement. Talked to Joe on Tuesday and he is planning on coming down to help on Saturday. With his knowledge and experience, we can’t turn down that kind of offer that’s for sure.

Awesome! Maybe I'll see you over there and help get that kiddo her ram.  :tup:

I think it's down to just me and the OP's kiddo in the North unit.  I opted to do High Buck and avoid the 1st Annual Yakima Canyon Footrace.   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Hopefully that young lady will take a good one tomorrow and won't have a scary experience the second time around.  You go girl!

congrats to you and your son. That feeling will never go away. My little brother is 30. He is one of the fittest Army Rangers in Ranger Regiment and hands down the most capable and confident, most highly and technically trained woodsman I've ever known and I still find myself saying things like "dont get too close to that ledge", or "be careful those rocks are loose.".......as I slip, slide and hobble behind him with a broken foot and bad knee :chuckle:  concern for those we love will never go away or lighten.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton
