Stone Sheep Hunt Day 7 Aug 3, 2008

Cloudy, very windy this morning but it might blow off.  Even though it is August 3 one has to wear long underwear and wool sweaters and hats in the morning.  Saw a Big Blond Grizzly in this valley that we look out on.  Probably the one we saw in last camp.  Melted snow for coffee.  Looking through scope Vikki though she was looking at another Columbian Ground Squirrel but it was the Grizzly standing up looking East.  All of a sudden 3 Big Caribou were coming from the left......   the Griz hi-tailed it up onto those gray rock slides then back tracked above the caribou and left the area.
Had flat bread and cheese slices and pepperoni for lunch.
Bryan made lean to and fire pit and collected lots of wood.  Both of us happy to just scope and rest.  Bryan brought a big sack of snow from up the hill 200' for camp.  The caribou stayed in this valley all day.  In the heat of the sun they lied down in the snow.  Bryan made up a walking stick for Vikki out of green balsam which he peeled so it would dry out, now she has the Cabelas one and the longer 4' wood one.   Vikki collected more little flowers (over 30 now).  Had scalloped potatoes and sausages for supper.  Vikki in bed by 7:30, Bryan 9.
