Ok...I've got Matt over my shoulder right now ready to blog with me!! He's a blogger...he blogs! Matt and his brother and dad spent the last week of July in the Windrivers in Wyoming on a horsepacking trip! They took 4 horses...3 to ride, 1 to pack. What did you guys do Matt? My favorite question is what did you talk about? ;) But, Matt reminds me that it is pretty simple we just ride and camp and fish and yes, talk.
They did come home with some interesting stories. The first day, the pack horse completely bucked everything off, throwing the equipment, food and everything all through the forest and a stream. The mosquitoes were everywhere. The boys talked about how annoyed they kept getting when they'd keep trying to eat their jerky or trail-mix through their mosquito nets. They fished...ate fresh fish...rode horses, took water-fall showers and then on the last day graduated from the Dave Gardner school of horse tracking! ;) They woke up on their last morning with the horses no where to be found! They tracked them for about a mile through the forest and finally found them in this meadow. What a relief!
It looks like they had great views anywhere they went. Both Matt and his dad took some great scenic pictures. I just grabbed the ones that had people and horses in them. Below from left to right is Ranger, Jake, Bud and Captain.
They had such a great trip and hopefully they won't have to wait as long to do it again!

No where in this post does it mention that Matt ROCKED at fishing. When you were at our house a few weeks ago, he claimed that just as fast as he threw his line in, it was tugged by a fish attached to it. Over and over again. Was this just a lie, or was it the blog-worthy truth?
I just didn't want to brag! But sense you brought it up. It was the best time fishing I have ever had in my life. Awesome.
