The light was strange as we emerged from the canyon, and we could smell smoke in the air. The Trail Mountain Fire was blazing just north of us. It had been started intentionally by the government as a "controlled burn" two weeks earlier, but had immediately gone out of control because of the drought. The fire was still raging when Phil and I returned a few days later from Idaho and I hear it's only just now winding down nearly a month after it started. Our taxpayer dollars at work, folks!
Yarrr!
Love the little peek-a-boo hole.
The view behind us.
Phil Hassey: Goat Guru.
We brought water with us for the goats, but they finished it off before the day was done, so they were delighted when we came across this trickle of water near the trailhead. Goats don't generally like to get their feet wet in a natural creek bank, but if they're thirsty enough they'll brave the mud.
