Way to make the most of the worst winter ever.


the lack of snowpack is concerning.

Beautiful views. Great pics.

Great trip! Thank you. I just finished a x-mas gift book from my daughter called Rangers, Trappers, and Trailblazers by John Fraley. Stories about early day adventures in the Bob so your timing was perfect. Thanks again.

Awesome pictures and trip report

What precautions do you take with your furry companion? Coat, boots? she have a doggie pack? Or do you carry the food and bowels?

Fraley's books are great. He really does his research and he's very familiar with the area- working in there as a fish biologist.

Tom puts musher's wax on her feet- protects and prevents snow buildup. He's got a special blend of kibbles that are high in fat that she's fed. For sleeping, Pepper has her own sleeping bag- it's made by Nunatak- down filled w/ a pad in the bottom

Thanks. Due to resemblance to the Chinese Wall- not as long and not man made however

 

[mtwarden]

Looks like our timing was pretty good- this doesn't very pleasant

 

[hoyt-guy]

Awesome write up & great pics! I've spent some time in the Bob hunting black bears, but never been that far in. Thanks for sharing!

 

[bpitcher]

Great pictures and thanks for sharing.

I'd like to see that country some day.

 

[Fishn4eyes]

About the time I start to think I'm doing some pretty manly shit, I read one of your adventures and then I'm back to feeling like a wuss.

Quite an adventure, well done!

 

[mtwarden]

Thanks Gents!

If you haven't been, definitely worth putting on your to do list- it's not just the Wall, but all the great country you see accessing it!

 

[BoilerBowHunter]

Awesome, Mike! I'd love to get there someday. About how many total miles did you all cover? And what were your night time temps like? Looks damn cold!

 

[mtwarden]

Thanks. A little over 50 miles- biggest day was 16 miles, shortest was our last day out- 10 miles. Lows down lower were ~10 degrees, our night up high pretty sure it was closer to 0- possibly a touch below.

Nothing nearly as bad as what came just a few days later though

 

[ianpadron]

Amazing to see it in winter, wow! If you guys ever need another adventure buddy in the Bob, let me know, I'm in there all the time.

 

[mtwarden]

Sounds good. We found a route on top of the Wall, pretty cool- definitely summer only.

 

[Thunker]

That looks awesome. Would love to to that

We have a Chinese wall here in Wyoming, between Cody and Yellowstone.
