This morning, we went for a wee four wheel drive up in the White Mountains. We went up the canyon just south of Chalfant and found remnants of an old mine, miner's cabin, and tram. The highlight, though, was FINALLY SEEING BIGHORN SHEEP!
Matt would get bummed out every time he heard of folks running into herds of them. He'd never seen them. Must have been all those years packing in the Sierras and not exploring the Whites.
Wyatt must have seen them before Matty because he kept saying "boing, boing" from his backpack perch.
We were standing on a narrow rocky game trail and heading back to the car when I looked up the hill and saw a big buff colored pig. It was about 150 yards/100 meters away. There were five in all. They all had horns, some huge, curved and majestic. They were watchful, but relaxed. It was rad.
We made the boy walk the 10 minutes back to the car. He did so cheerfully. Not bad for a not-even-two year old.
