Recovering from yesterdays nearly 12 hr. (930am to 900pm), but 9 miles in total up in the high country right on the ID/MT state line. Started at 5,233 ft. elevation & went up another 2,000 ft. to a ridge before dropping back down to ~4,200 ft. at the end.
The trail exactly followed the MT/ID state for the first 4 miles so I had my left foot in MT & my right foot in ID.
Tons of blow-down over & over to go over, under and thru for hours before I got thru the majority of it when fully in MT where that National Forest (NF) takes better care of the trail than the Idaho NF does.
The easy stuff...
Breaking into the easy part.
Good view of the back-side (western) of the Bitterroots about 30 miles away, all 9,000 to 10,000 ft. in elevation.
Got beat up during the hike with scrapes top to bottom. But not many bugs to deal with & I did get to add some huckleberrys and grouse wortleberrys to my food supply I had with me. But I ran out of H2O about 60% the way thru & did see any creek water till I was back at my rig.
Toughest hike in my life and thought I was going to have to spend the night out there but once I got on to the better maintain MT part of the trail I pushed thru to my rig. Managed to get home at 9:45pm just as it was getting dark.
So I guess I just determined what my max effort limit is.
Took my Super Shockwave, bear spray and a decent sized blade since it's Griz counttry but only bumped into some elk, a good number of Spruce/dusky grouse. and some deer. I didn't see Hatchet Jack up there .
Was going to take it easy today & patch myself up but unforseen stuff came up so most of the day it was dealing with chores.
That bucket list hike is checked off now. Lesson learned.

Cinnamon feels deprived on attention I guess. She probably was worried since I was gone for a week

The hike would have gone better without all the blow-down, and the ID National Forest taking better care of the trail on their end.
Sometimes I test myself a bit to far.

Up with a cup of coffee. Husky food ready for Maggie. Will take a walk as soon as it gets light. I have appointment to see primary care doc this morning. Need to get perscriptions refilled. This is a 6 month checkup--just a way for them to make more money. Other than that just another day in the oven.

Hey gang,
Well, it's been a pretty good day and it will get better. Since it's near 100 degrees and 50% humidity, I've been doing inside chores. I started with my daily exercise routine while watching The Rifleman and The Lone Ranger.
Yes, my exercise machine is located in my basement laser range.
After coffee I vacuumed the entire house. Then I walked out to the mailbox. Dang! It's HOT! Mrs. BassCliff will return from her Pilates class soon with supper. Then she is taking me to see a local production of Spamalot. That should be fun.
The VZ square butt grips for my 686 arrived today. Maybe later I'll try them on. I think the Buscadero drop holster and cartridge belt will be here Monday. Now I gotta find a hat.
Mrs. BassCliff is picking up Jersey Mike's sandwiches for supper. She asked me what I want. I told her, "I'll take a giant #2."
I hope you all have a good evening. See ya later.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff

you know, here we get at least the Rifleman on MeTv...
i like many others here, used to watch that.....when we had black and white tv's.
of i'd say the past several years, and at my ripe OLD age, i have realized the annoyance of Mark, the son.
Lucas, could, and would tell mark to "Not do something or STAY AWAY from something"..
dumbass kid would go ahead and muck up, and get into trouble...then Lucas would have to save him.
each time i see a particular show, where Mark mucks up..??
I YELL at the tv and say to Lucas....."LEAVE HIM ALONE, LET THE DAMNED BOBCAT EAT HIM".....
dumbass kids, even back in the old west.
maybe that's why, life expectancy was only about to the age of 30.....
dumbass kids NOT listening to the parent(s), and getting eaten by the bobcat.........

Hi,
I watch GRIT TV, all westerns all the time. It's broadcast from a local station so I pick it up on my regular old TV antennae.
I get what you mean about Mark. He's a good kid but a bit headstrong sometimes. It's just another vehicle to inject drama into the show.
Like most film and TV entertainment, the characters seem to represent the time in which the show was produced (1958-1963), rather than the time the show is supposed to be set in (1880s). Kids in the late 50s and early 60s were starting to get a little rebellious.
It's all good clean fun.
