Middlestack & More

 ....at sunset





Our "traverse" took us behind Middlestack and south along the ridge. 








Camp









We stopped at Sara Spring where there's a five-acre exclosure. 




Karen attacked the roses (an invasive that likes overgrazed areas) with a vengeance impossible to convey. We carted bundles of the rose canes to the lower end of the exclosure where there's a pool the cows use. (The stench is enough to raise your gorge). There was just enough gap for a smaller cow to get through and that's where we piled the cuttings.

We each saw a Great Basin Gopher snake. Karen's was quite large and mine was slender so we can hope there'll be more to come.
