<-- home Therapeutic roaming on the cheap -------------------------------- 2016 Wind River Range. My campsite at the end of a 12 mile hike up the valley: The 11,000' saddle enroute to climbing a minor peak: The climbing route up Long's: A ledge traversed along the climbing route: The final portion to the summit: Uinta Range. Large herd of sheep at a 12,000' pass: Later that summer - With Bart at Sequoia: Camping with Bart in Oregon: While I was in the gas station, Bart went after the remaining mini-donuts and got his head stuck in the bag: 2017 Wind River Range: Deep in the Wind River Range: Also truck camping: Bart loves the cattle: With the Talbotts in the Winds: Bart and me hiking with Graham: Graham was working on a wood carving each evening in camp.
