Bear Country

I love this time of year - I go up to Montana and Wyoming, and wander around in my pickup with my two border collies. I will mix day hikes with some backpack trips. I plan to go up some trails that are considered dangerous because of the grizzly activity.

Its a pretty good life - makes me feel alive. I make sure I am near town on weekends, so I can dance with the ladies at the Cowboy Bar in Jackson and Cassie's in Cody. That also makes me feel alive.

Yeehah.

Protecting my food from large nightime visitors is on my mind this time of year, just before my annual trip to Wyoming and Montana.
