... telling us). After that very impacting experience we returned to our base camp, had some grub and then went off for another "strenous" walk (30 mins no inclination) up to the moment that our path was blocked by four very sleepy bisons. Bisons for those who are not familiar with them are part of the "huge friggin' mammals" group and look to be twice the size of a normal cow!

I made a stop at the World of Donuts and had a donut and coffee (.58). <br> When I returned I set up my easel for the first painting of this trip, a view of the mountains across the river.
