Sheep in them thar hills!

 Whoa! Driving to the river for a nice walk, and what do I see??

 Sheep, sheep and more sheep

 The sheep herder had 5 border collies, a horse, a sheep wagon, a bike, a truck and a mongrel.

 The sheep herder  will take his wagon deep in the wilderness

This big guy, the size of a lab and a half, was sauntering down the middle of the highway, bringing up the rear and stopping all traffic. A noble beast!

Cutest Animal Ears

And this is their Ranger's House.

And a set of dusty toes, too.

More Orange Ball

 How does Fred make that face?

 Enjoying the view, which is reflected in the windows.

 Fred, did you eat a lemon?

 Concentration on his most prized possession

The old boy recovers from last week's hike and goes to Gladiator Creek

 Some people have to learn the hard way that riding around in a golf cart and watching the news does not prepare a person to walk 10 miles straight uphill to Pioneer Cabin

 Well, hopefully the old boy has learned .

 The fall colors are arriving but they don't show when you're at the top of the world..

 An old mine

GIRLS!!!!!!!! (Warning: Some Bawdiness)

 Imagine your 16-17 year old boy, knowing there are GIRLS in the vicinity

Ready, willing, and able 

 Score!!!

 Hmmmm, wonder how I smell.....have I showered lately?

Or was this one of those 2 1/2 hour shower days? 

 How do my antlers look?

Nice, right???

 Did they go that way?

 Or that way?

 Yep, that way!

 Hey, what are you lookin' at?

 Hey, Baby, Whattchu doin?

 What's your sign?

Hard work, being the big guy in the valley (that is, until the Real Big Boy shows up)

Fred's orange ball and elk

The Orange Ball in SV

Pioneer Cabin

 Wow, Don't know what setting the old boy had the camera on, but what vibrant colors!

This is the 10 mile straight uphill walk to the Pioneer Cabin.

Someone has learned what unhappy hips feel like...
