the deputy.....I can watch Shark Tank & NFL Football.....that's about it for me..... ITTOG.....it's just my man cave.....oil paintings that my son painted for me & vintage climbing gear.....a few items from my past international travels.....that's about it for me..... I saw this graffiti at...

Your ranch land looks much like a 360 parcel of land that I've been eyeing near Big Timber, Montana. It's absolutely beautiful ! Do you see yourself and your family living there one day ? I sure would be tempted.

October was the month for my Quaking Aspens to shine.....and shine they did..... Then came November.....and the snow began to fall..... It was too cold and snowy to do any more trips.....so we spent way too much time inside the cabin reading and working on a few projects..... For three...

The perrinials that I've been planting over the past several years made a pretty good showing this year.....many doubling and tripling in size..... I suspect that I've planted well over one hundred of various varieties.....the hearty ones seemed to have survived the brutal winters that we...

Arjan.....I would recommend that you read the The Last Green Valley.....I feel like it would resonate especially with you since you are French. I know it got me thinking about my mother & grandmother and their lives in France during World War 2 and how difficult their lives must have been. I...

Ace.....I felt like the story he told was much like the YouTube videos that I watch today. He went out into the wilderness to have an adventure to write about, as opposed to going out in the wilderness to have an adventure that he wrote about. There's a fine line between the two.....I prefer the...

the deputy.....996 pages in the paperback version ! Wow ! Good luck with that......it very much reminds me of this book.....which I've yet to complete (it's only 600 pages)..... Regarding Tanner, several weeks ago he was out playing on the property and when I let him in, unfortunately he was...

ITTOG.....it was a sensational end to a sensational season of crawling, walking, hiking, and climbing in Montana & Wyoming.....now it's time to focus on the southwest again..... Ace.....no problem.....they love it..... the deputy....."so envious".....thanks for reminding me to be grateful for...

The views from the summit of Emigrant Peak (10,926') were majical in every sense of the word.....to the south the Absaroka Mountain Range and Yellowstone National Park..... To the west.....Paradise Valley where the Yellowstone River flowed..... To the east more of the Absaroka Mountain...

Recently I posted about two guys that I'd met while climbing a mountain (page 363).....well, here they are.....19 year old Owen and his 75 year old Grandpa whose name seems to have escaped me..... I actually met these guys at the bottom of the mountain while hiking through the dense...

We hiked along the meanders of the creek.....through a dense forest.....and then as we climbed we returned to the wide open spaces that afford the views that go on forever..... It was a crisp morning.....it was a near perfect day to get out into the wilderness and to climb a mountain...

Arjan & the deputy.....thanks guys..... It took about a week, give or take, before I finally saw another break in the weather patterns, and when it came, I loaded the camper back onto the truck and we drove east down the interstate, and then south on Highway 89.....off to climb yet another...

the deputy.....you nailed it..... It looks like she's saying "are you leaving already ? It seems like you just got here ? " And that's almost how I felt..... We spent the next few nights camped along one of the gravel roads that passed through the ranchers' land..... We enjoyed a few...

ITTOG & the deputy.....there was no summit on this hike......the saddle is simply a landmark that needed to be crossed to access the lake..... Once we reached the saddle, we still had a bit more of a climb before the trail descended down to Campfire Lake.....at this point in our hike, we...

The weather.....a mix of clouds in the mountains and blue skies over the ranch lands.....and very, very cold..... We drove through the dense forest that finally led us to the trailhead..... And then we headed out on foot..... The mountains were covered in a light snow.....and we hiked...

fisher205.....I'm ready to hit the road.....I've got plans.....well, not really plans but I do want to leave soon..... jasmine399.....thanks..... Ace.....it's kind of hard for me to believe that I've been posting since 2012.....coming up on 3,000 posts.....that's hard to believe as well...

Initially I was under the impression that we'd have to climb both peaks to achieve our goal but as we were climbing I noticed an informal trail which ran below and along Sacajawea Peak (9,456') so I decided that we'd try the informal trail and save ourselves hundreds of feet of climbing...

the deputy.....the leaves have definitely been hanging on around here. Hopefully one day I'll get around to posting some pictures of my property and the Quaking Aspens that I planted in their fall colors. Some of them still retain their leaves now. I've lost count on the number of transplants...

We watched a wonderful sunset over the Bridger Mountains.....which are located just a bit further to the west..... .....and the following morning we were right back out there.....walking along that gravel road.....taking in the beautiful sky. The plan was to head home early.....but the Crazy...

ITTOG.....the sounds that come from a group (I'm hesitatant to say herd) of elk in a dense forest is memorable. The crashing into trees, the smashing of the bull elks' antlers, the snapping of branches, and the thundering of the hooves in a silent forest truly in itself is an experience to...
