Rocky Mtn Goat in backpack camp

Okanagan · July 24, 2010, 12:56:54 AM

About sundown when we were camped on a backpack hike last weekend, a billy goat strolled into camp probably to see if we had any edibles around. He circled our three tents/tarps and strolled away. In the photo below he is walking past my Sil shelter.

Nice country. Olympic Mountains, WA.

Thats pretty wild that he felt that comfortable to approach the camp.

Man that is some awesome picturesque scenery right there, Saaa weeeeet!

I feel so much cooler after looking at that snow!

That is sooo awesome that a Billy came in like that!

I'd be like that guy that saw the double rainbows.

I think I saw that same critter in Outdoor Life.

It sure is beautiful country, looks like great goat habitat too.

OK, I been puzzling all day what that means, so will fess up my culturally deprived frame of reference and ask, "Who is the guy who saw the double rainbows, and how did he get his fifteen minutes of fame (at least he is famous to Jim & vvarmitr)?

What cosmic signficance does he have that is related to a mtn goat by a frozen lake?

Oops! What a plethora of possibilities this opens for yarn spnners like pitw.

It was a video on you tube. The guy was awe struck by the double rainbows to the point of being "over the top" awe struck. Some speculated he might have been a little stoned.

Nice pictures! If'n I didn't like the desert so much I would consider living up there.
