Brian and Siobhan on the north side of Battle Mountain
Meghan, Brian and Siobhan decided to climb Battle Mountain before hunting season starts. Meghan had made the climb several times, but it was the first time for Brian and Siobhan.

Our friend, Steve Smith, saw this trio of Sandhill Cranes on a visit to the ranch.
Jean Carlos and Tiarnan near Tennessee Creek
Tiarnan and Rhen went with me to move sheep camp on Tennessee Creek in the Routt Forest. Jean Carlos was happy to see the boys and fed them a hearty lunch of spaghetti, vienna sausage and mixed vegetables. They were hungry. After pulling the camp down a very rough and narrow road, Jean Carlos gave Tiarnan a ride. In spite of the bouncy trip, Rhen had somehow fallen asleep, and was mad when he learned he had missed a ride on the horse. We then went on to Clark for some of their famous ice cream.
