    News Release: Yellowstone National Park increases protection for bears and visitor safety by implementing changes to two bear management areas

    Yes Mountain Rabbit as like you, many of these Absaroka Mountain areas, would see nobody for days and days. And near Younts Peak, have never seen a ranger there. And in other wildlife rich areas that I know of, nobody is around at those times. In my opinion, an excuse to control people. If they...

    News Release: Yellowstone National Park increases protection for bears and visitor safety by implementing changes to two bear management areas

    Gosh, the park management at it again. Have seen this thru the years whereby they like to restrict the most wildlife productive areas in the park. There were certain areas where in years gone by that loved to go in the spring only with the wildlife everywhere then later it became restrictive...

    Winter

    Good to see the snow coming into the Rocky Mountain States. Do know parts of Montana and Idaho could really use it. Wyoming and the Absarokas are getting some good snow. Yea! But here in the desert southwest, it is full spring. Now with the rain this winter the desert floor here near Organ Pipe...

    Thanks Scatman! Now have seen this in the Bridger Teton in NW Wyoming, fine with myself. But there are always objections. But with some ATVs and Snowmobilers is how often do they try to access some wilderness area where it is indeed against the law. When one looks on a map there are 4 wheel...

    Will the new iPhone make PLBs obsolete?

    Now Rockskipper, going into the wilds without the phone is the oldtime way that has been around for centuries. Now personally that is the reason many people go into the deep wilds is to get away from the crazy outside world. If one looks at statistics, something is more liable to happen to a...

    Jackson, SAR can disagree all they want. But freedom is freedom and as Thomas Jefferson said on Rebellion to Tyrants is Obediance to God. Yes many unprepared or ignorant people out there these days. But that does not mean I have to be tracked everywhere I go in the woods also. What about again...

    Will the new iPhone make PLBs obsolete?

    Now personally in all my years of wilderness wanderings, have never been lost. I was disoriented once but knew where I was. It was on top of the Two Ocean Plateau Area at the headwaters of the Snake River many years ago. But in light of this current society, going into the woods with getting...

    Will the new iPhone make PLBs obsolete?

    What is PLB? I just have a little flip phone. And also often I go without a phone period. Think life and everything was better before all of these phones were around. Am an oldster I guess. Plus the mountain men of old never had any freaking phones.

    To Do in 2023

    Now it has been a wonderful year with being retired and continuing to just hike, bike, and bird with living on my mountain bike.

    Best to you Hugh. As we get older, how each of us has ailments or such where some part of one's body does not work how it used to. For myself it is my right ankle. Guess with you and your foot, it will be hard to sit still this winter. It is winter but it will pass and after this next summer...
