Hahaha! Someday you have to talk Joey into telling his story of being holed up (pun intended) in a Slough creek backcountry outhouse holding the door closed with his legs while a grizzly bear spent the night circling his abode. Ultra. Classic.

Let's hear it Joey!

 

[Bob]

He will have it on video..... we stopped for a re enactment.....

 

[Joey]

Hey wait a minute.. If you put your bag in a tent on a porch under a roof is that still a "bag night" ????

My bag is hanging above my tent on the wall drying out. Do notice thoe how Bob took up most of the room, and left me on the outer edge of the porch closest to the food ring in case any curious bears showed up.

 

[Joey]

Let's hear it Joey!

I think I wrote a short version of that night in this thread:
http://backcountrypost.com/threads/big-animal-attacks-first-hand-accounts.3670/#post-42758

I'm suppose to be writing up a more in depth account of that night with the possibility of it being published in an article about Yellowstone's backcountry. I'm not sure if that will actually happen, but when I get the in depth account written up I'll post it on here.

Whoa, how did i almost forgot about this one of @Bob . Definitely a classic:




And while where at it, how about some props for this guy. In his 6th decade, he is still out here doing big climbs, off trail routes, unafraid of bears and badgers, and just doing the deal. I'm proud to say I've been fortunate to walk with him. I have a ton of respect for you Bru! You're a legend in my book.

Those are some pretty stylish spectacles @Bob! I like!

 

[Bob]

Thanks Joey, I have a great respect for your abilities and value your friendship....... It is a honor and a pleasure to hike with you..

That shows the edge that experience and wisdom inherent in old age gives Bob and I over you guys.

I bet they were really cheap. Really cheap. :twothumbs:

And I will absolutely and positively second that notion. Bru is one of my heroes. Really.

 

[Bob]

Found them on the side of the trail.........some stylish kid probably lost them running from a bear...

 

[Artemus]

Whoa. Is that a backcountry margherita Bob? Rad!

A visit to Tukuhnikivatz Arch last February




And.... Mesa Arch





Actually wanted to post some new pics of us up on the ski area yesterday. But it says my files are to big to post. Will have to figure out how to resize.

Leg of Scat - I went this trip without bug spray.

Spent my 37th birthday climbing Mt Haggin, on the edge of the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness in SW Montana.

My wife and I hiked up to the top of the ski area the other day. A fair amount of snow still in places.
