We set up base camp today. We have a beautiful view and decent cell service which is nice. We are scouting the area around camp. Seeing lots of fresh bear sign. Saw some mountain lion tracks and some elk sign. We saw a huge bull driving into town yesterday evening. On our way to base camp this morning we saw a group of cows maybe a mile or so down the mountain road.
Tomorrow a friend is meeting us at camp for a couple days. Another guy is joining us Sunday. This has been a good distraction from the mess I'm dealing with at home. I can text pictures if someone could post them for me.

My friend was woken up at 3:30 today by bugling close to camp. I slept right through it. If had a hard time sleeping through the night lately. Last night I was out cold and didn't hear a thing. We got set up over a water hole before daylight. Nothing but birds and a jack rabbit so far. It's super dry. Hunting around water sources is what we are trying first.

Thanks Dave!
We didn't see much at the water hole. We did some exploring and found a couple more watering holes. We found some big bear tracks 250 yards from camp in the road. They were not there yesterday when we walked it.

We just left Silt (empty handed), your pics look a whole lot like the country we were in. |

So, how's walking around at altitude with the pack on? You get used to the altitude yet?
