This Week’s Story: Back Home Again

It was like Sherwood Forest down there. As far as the eye could see, tall cottonwood trunks stood with rustling leaves above, providing continuous shade over the thick grasses below.

Glenn and Jed, with the help of supervisor Clyde, work to reboot the deuce and a half after it ran out of fuel. It wasn’t long before it roared back to life, but it was a little stressful in the moment with a couple hundred head of mama cows ready for another load of water. -Melanie

Here’s the mama cows on some fresh grass after we moved them to a new pasture the other day! They’re doing so well with their calves at their side. I enjoyed the task of walking through them a couple times this past stint. -Melanie

A couple of mama cows going back to their calves after getting a drink. The layers of sunlit mountain ranges, illuminated into dimensionality by the setting sun, really caught my eye. It’s beautiful to witness how the landscape changes over the course of a day with sunlight and weather patterns. -Melanie

The last of the sunlight on the Lemhi Range never fails to impress. -Melanie

It made the crew and I so happy to see the mama cows grazing some new grass after we worked much of the afternoon to get them moved. It was a great way to end our last full day of the stint. -Melanie

Our stint concluded with moving camp to a new location further down the creek. This campsite had a beautiful meadow for the horses to graze, and they were pretty happy about it! -Melanie
