What a difference a little bit of sunshine makes! Spectacular!
The first glimpse of sunshine occured in the evening of day two.
Goat camp. The smartest move we made was bring a tarp. Besides always having blue skies, we were able to stay relatively dry.
A pocket in the clouds at higher elevation. Hunting in the clouds was a new experience for me. My brother and I quickly discovered that depth perception is nonexistent in the thicker clounds. From sighting on two flowers that looked like horns (that one was Nate's idea). To stalking a marmot from about 75 yards away thinking it was something MUCH larger (I would have had him if he was a goat). To the very common mistake of sneaking up on a chunk of quartz, many times the chunk would turn out to be about the size of a softball. At least we were seeing things, just makes it that much more exciting.
