Yellowstone National Park
Now back on the ranch, Robbin and I left the state for a 2-week road tour of Idaho, Montana and Alberta. Highlights were Banff and the Canadian Rockies, the Mt. Sentinel Ranch south of Longview, Alberta, the Stevenson Basin Ranch in Hobson, MT, Yellowstone and the Salmon River of Idaho. Good to get outside one’s tunnel vision to find pleasant and delightful people in many other parts of the West.
While we were gone, low pressure formed off the coast provided an intense thundershower in the Kaweah River watershed with as much as 2.5 inches in Lemon Cove. However, we only recorded amounts ranging from .22 to .76 of an inch precipitation on the ranch. Mid-70s today.

And here I thought you had a rough-looking Scottish Highlander!

No Sharon - our new herd sire unfurled! Also got to see packs of people trying to spot wolves in the Lamar Valley. All very interesting.

Wish I'd a known you were going to be comin up to my neck of the woods. Maybe we could have crossed paths. I'll bet I was in Banff around the same time you were. I'll be coming back home for a few weeks in December. It would be great if I could come out and see you and your ranch in person while I'm there.

Matt, I should have suspected that the sheer peaks of Banff might have drawn you down from Edmonton. See you over the holidays.
