July Travels

July 30th, 2008

Snow is mostly off the high country and the shepherds with their bands have moved into the mountains for the rich summer pasture. We have had the opportunity to help ranchers and shepherds move two bands of sheep up to the high country. Here are some of the recent pictures.

The Awning was handy to keep us and the library books dry during a light rain in July.

One afternoon between visits I parked in the dryer country north of Meeker. On occasion I don’t have to drive far to the next visit and can park and get some office work done on the road. On my trip north in July I had the opportunity to stop in a mountain meadow and on a dry hill. These are good times of quiet and preparation.
