Goat Hunt Part III

As we were stalking the billy goat I looked up at the ridge above us and the group of five goats I had seen earlier in the day and the day before were standing on the ridge watching us, framed in a cloud. I would give a lot to have had a picture of that. It will probably be the most lasting memory of the trip. One goat obliged and stayed on top of the ridge long enough for Nate to dig the camera out of his pack and get this picture.

Spotted five goats to the left the day before. Found them shortly after taking this picture on the small ridge to the right. The billy goat was next to them on another ridge farther right.
We would have to climb up that ridge behind us with much heavier gear. Little did we know at the time, but directly below us was our prey.
