This thread line needs some activity. I am not that good with a camera.
This year we hiked into the Little Belt Mountains near central Montana. This was a little tame for us as we stayed under 7,000 foot elevation and camped at 4,600 feet. We never saw rain and only a few clouds in 2 weeks. Needless to say the late September warm weather made for very slow archery elk hunting. My husband got a young bull elk so the trip was a success.
We loss our biggest packer this spring. We made 2 trips with my remaining 2 packers. We were all loaded with packs of boned out meat.
This is beautiful country wear half the forest is burned out. Oddly enough it seemed dry but there was still plenty of water around. You'd be 1/2 way up a mountain and a creek would suddenly appear or the grass would be thick and green.
Dwight and Mary Sharp's Oberhasli buckling, Blazer, we got this summer, did great. He could hike 9 miles in a day and bounce down the mountain when the rest of us were dragging. He is not afraid of much, loves water, he'll sleep anywhere, and learn to forage for food like the big boys.
