| Eric's Mountain Excursion September, 2015 | |
| Two of Eric's brothers, Jeb & Dan, were
      planning an elk hunting trip one weekend.  They decided Eric should
      go along to enjoy the scenery and their company.  It turned out to be
      a bit more death-defying than Eric would have liked - he prefers to take
      his risks by rock climbing!  Thankfully they returned him home to me
      safe & sound. | |

| When the couldn't drive any further they used motorbikes to get higher into the mountains, until they had to leave the bikes behind and go on foot. It was a long trip. | |
