Smoke & Timber, there's lots of fun to be had just out your front door! How's Timber doing taking over driving? Thanks for following along!Casa Escarlata Robles Too said:Great looking rams.When you come upon them while out hiking
or along the road it's such a treat.
Good choice of boots.We have used Salomon products for some time now.
Really like how they "walk",great shoes.
Thanks for this part.

Ronin said:I finally read through your great summer adventures. What a great trip and some monumental day hikes. Such a treat to see the Bighorns!! Lately any ascents approaching 14,000' have been giving me altitude sickness so I just avoid them. Great to see you still making the climbs!! My current boots are Salomons and I think they're great. The soles of my last 2 pairs of Lowa's delaminated. The csr at REI said I can only expect to get one year out of them. Whaaat!! Did you go the the Wind River Range? I'd love to see your pics from there- maybe from another posting? Thanks for 5 great TRs!!

Well duh - somehow I passed over part 3, now my fav of your TRs!! I'm hoping to include it on a trip to Jasper.ski3pin said:Ronin, thanks for the comment, we appreciate it! Lowas have always been great boots but just like most industries, they are always looking for more profitable options and they're changing locations where many of their models are built and tweaking design and components. Julie has always used the Lowa Renegade. Two years of use really breaks down not only the sole but the heel pocket and support around the ankle holding the heel in place. The new Salomons have a really nice heel pocket and ankle support and lacing that allows tightening up the ankle area without smashing the front of the foot. We'll see how they hold up. Part Three - Green River Lakes - is in the Wind Rivers.
Thanks for following along!
Casa Escarlata Robles Too said:Your Yosemite part is one of the best of the trip.All are great but Yosemite is such a special place.
Your shot of the valley up to Half Dome is spectacular.
On our Norway trip a month ago the Fjords we saw looked like Yosemite Valley with water.
Thanks for this part of the trip.Can't guess where you will finish.
Just have to be surprised.
