Elevation 9,666; Bighorn Mountains, Wyoming

B.Hippo finally got up the nerve to get out of the car and what a beautiful place to do it. As we drove through the Bighorn Mountains we saw pronghorns, a mama and baby moose (we think - do they live here?), deer and cattle. Lots of cattle. I have mixed feelings about the US Forest Service's "preservation" tactics - since they seem to rent out most of their land out west to cattle ranchers, which certainly has a negative environmental impact. Nonetheless, the vistas were amazing and we have never been up this high (well outside of airplanes and other flying machines).
