I can't beleive this is our life!


Peter gets out his elk bugle and makes elk calls EVERY morning and night now. He is excited to say the least... We took 2 days off to go with Storrs into the backcountry to see the extent of the area that we will now be outfitting! There are no words. Check out these pics... We took down one of our summer camps, checked out the lakes, passes and creeks, and "elky" areas of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness! We rode 15 miles / day and my butt is SORE, slept in one of our wall tents, and had a classic camp experience. The dogs were amazing. They ran, rolled, and explored to their hearts content. Our 3 of our 4 new horses went in with us. First time packing and they all did GREAT! No blow ups, fights, or incidents.

My cowboy -- isn't he so HOT!

Brooke and Storrs checking something out.

At camp - the horses freely graze all over and DON'T run away... while we pack, cook and work.

Peter and Storrs debating how we are going to fit everything onto 4 horses. They are miracle workers when it comes to packing those horses.

The mighty string -- on our way out.

Crag Lake

Cool shadows and horse

Pete feeding our new baby, Deamo a treat for being SUCH a great horse!

Storrs Bishop ladies and gentlemen.

Wow! Those pics are amazing. You are so lucky to live the life you do! Don't worry about not being able to meet up at all- skiing would be super fun. Super fun watching me fall and swear because I fell, etc.. We also might be coming to Bzone for homecoming and staying the night- so if your around and not working that could be a possibility also. Honestly you didn't miss much on Friday except scary drunk men at the R Bar. We had a great time, but were all tucked in bed by 11:30 watching Reno 911. We are old!! It was great talking to you in person the other day, we'll figure out something to see each other. :)
