Hi Stef! We have been away camping for a week in the Canadian Rockies. John C. is allowing Pokey and Gumby to Tour The Canadian Rockies this summer with me!!! I have made a series of photos in a newer thread. Anyway-you are mentioned there and so are your Ibex! Want to come see? Look for Pokey and Gumby and scroll down to the pic where you see G&P inside the truck (and the Mtn Sheep! :) I wrote of you in the photo there. :)

This was a wonderful series you did on Ibex and it made a lasting impression on us all. :)
