We rode through bogs, up hill, down hill, past lakes, past an old bear carcass (small black bear, may have been killed by a boar or a grizzly as we saw a grizzly rubbed tree near by). We stopped at one of Dave's remote cabins on a creek to eat lunch and stretch our legs. I was starting to work the soreness out on this ride.
Dave said he wished he had built the cabin higher. You can see the high water mark from spring floods.
We rode on up the creek. The pack horses ran loose, not strung together. This always made for interesting riding as the horses all fought for rank and position.
Several hours later we arrive at our campsite above this little pond. Tomorrow we head to the ridge left of the highest peak in this picture.
