Rick playing with Brandon’s gun
Uh oh
It’s so steep we can’t right it up for fear it might roll downhill
Anthony and Brandon hike back up to help
It’s a long way up and steeper than this looks
Too steep. We need the Artic Cat
Coming back down is a LOT easier than going up
Anthony to the rescue
Now if we can just pull it back up
Pulling it back uphill – all done!
But now the Cat is stuck in Park. Damn.
The day ended with a VERY long walk home
Glad this guy is in the corral
The long way home, via Canada and down the coast
