First multi-day pack trip!

So how did your goats get along with those weird alien creatures, the llamas?  

Did you get good pictures of the animals all in one shot for the article?

Did the llamas ever get to run free like the goats did, to graze?  

Did Gayle wish to trade Spot in for a wheelbarrow?

1. They got along so-so. The goats mostly ignored the llamas except for the 2-3 times when I had to lead Tuvoc. Finn didn't like having a llama taking up his rightful place behind me and tended to get up in Tuvoc's face or tail. Tuvoc was a goat guardian at one time and didn't think much of goats in general, so he made a lot of ugly faces and walked all over my heels when Finn got too close to him (which was most of the time). The llamas never spooked the goats, but the goats spooked the llamas a few times if we walked behind them. There was only one near-catastrophe when the goats spooked Tuvoc and he got loose. I'll tell that story in the next installment.

2. There are a few in here somewhere. I've got some more to post yet. 

3. Llamas do not run free. The general rule is that a loose llama is a missing llama. If one llama gets free, it might stick around to be with the other llama, but if both llamas go missing, your'e in trouble because they will almost certainly not stick around to be with you. They're much worse than horses in that regard. If you have a bucket of grain to tempt them, maybe they'll come back, but don't count on it. 

4. Probably at some point.
