No horses or sheep this trip…. Beautiful day to hike though, so no complaints…

The draft dodger who said he “likes people who didn’t get captured” and called our fallen “suckers and losers”. At this point is anyone really surprised… #sendbarron

A pic I took of two young mountain goats last summer… I always feel like they’re looking down on humanity and saying “aren’t you glad we don’t live down there in that madness”

Regular folks can’t afford groceries or rent, but Trump and Kristi Noem are happy to waste your tax dollars on B.S. like this.

Not much…La Panzanella Croccantini with some nice Brillat-Savarin and an excellent bottle of Château Pétrus.

Gotta say, based on their social media comments about our actual athletes, if being a fragile whiny snowflake were a winter Olympic sport #MAGA would definitely own the podium.

Hiked by this old wreck back in the woods yesterday… I remember 50 years ago the engine and the roof were still there. Likely was left behind by the crews that built the Beartooth Highway back in the 1930s…. #photography

I call bullshit… But I guess it doesn’t matter, because they’ve already deleted it.
