This hike was even worse for me because Dave sent Curt and I out ahead of them knowing they would catch up. Curt and I had to pick our own path and I couldn't avoid looking down. To be honest I only had a light load of gear, Kish wanted the heavy load and I told him it was a young man's job so thanks a bunch. Back at the horses everyone was tired, including the horses. We rested and drank the last of our water, then led the horses down the slope until it was level enough to ride. We replenished our water at springs along the way. At one stop Dave and Curt found the scattered bones of a dead grizzly, several years old. Curt was able to bring the skull home as a keepsake. One last look back at where it happened. A couple hours later we were back in camp, coffee then dinner. You know what it is. We also had sheep heart. It was OK but the tenderloins were the best.

The left horn was a little over 38" and the right a little under. I couldn't believe the quality of this sheep. Way beyond my expectations. Tight curl past full and a quarter, length, full tips that flared, and age. He had it all. Although I was tired I could not sleep at all that night. At 3:30 am I got up to a show of the Northern Lights. It was a day for everyone else to sleep in so I started a campfire, made coffee and watched the sunrise. I still had moose and bear tags in my pocket and 7 more days to hunt.
