    Hanging in the Highlands of Roan

    Hedcase, Skippy, Rob and I did Carver's Gap to 19E this past weekend. On the way home, I hung in the moonlight at the Gorge. Here is the video:

    Very Coll Mac. One of my favorite places on earth is on those Balds. You saw the goats, did you see the herder...Jamie?

    My cousin spent a weekend goat-sitting for the "Baaa-Tany Goat Project" up there about a month ago. Pretty cool what that guy is doing.

    Didn't see a shepherd, but that dog was impressive. When we got a little too close, he growled. He quieted down as soon as Joel spoke to him in a nice voice, and stopped approaching.

    Anyone know what breed that dog is?

    Good video, Mac. That's a Great Pyrenees dog--a natural herd protector. Thanks for posting!

    Yup, Great Pyrenees. Here's a link to my cousin's blog post about the goat project, if anyone is interested.

    We found a Rubbermaid water trough and a 5 gal bucket that the vols use to keep the goats watered. There is a spring not far down the trail.

    I know what the goats eat... what does the Great Pyrnees eat?

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.
