Awesome Picture!

“Here's a shot of Baume66 skirting by a bighorn in the Grand Canyon. Just that morning he was stating that seeing a bighorn sheep would complete the trip! yeah!

”

“Get out!!

That ain't real!!”

“yes it is! just ask Baume66, Crashbang, Oldog, Jimmysan or Prosecuter. Baume's a little blurry because the lighting was low and he was moving.
Pretty cool eh?”

“I will ask him!

Dang, I saw Crash yesterday morning and no mention of this.

Baume does have a funny look on his face!
That's a big animal.”

“"Dang, I saw Crash yesterday morning and no mention of this"
He's probably still too busy fuming about his lost tent stakes. ;)

“Great shot, Paige!

That is one big animal and I ain't talking about Baume. ;)

I'm hoping we see some in May when I'm back out there (along with pink rattlers and condors). We came up dry last Oct. No bighorns or condors. Snakes were done for the season. Only saw mule deer. Oh, there was a mountain lion cub siting while we were in Indian Gardens.”

“I don't know about Crash, but I gave ENS some stakes yesterday morning.”

“Thanks MsDoolittle,
It was the first time I have seen a Bighorn in the Canyon. We were fortunate enough to see Condor again, Plateau Point usually delivers. Never have seen a Rattler down there although we did see a five foot long snake on a previous trip, not sure what kind it was but is was friendly.
Mtn Lion Cub???”

“Nice pic!

Sooo... if a person wants wishes to come true... go hiking with Baume66???!??

AAHHH... the secret to the good life! ;-P”

“Hmmmm, I don't think he would exactly make my dreams come true.

ha ha ha !!!”

“I climbed my first mountain w/ Baume66. It felt like a dream come true. Maybe there is something about hiking w/ him. Course, MarkO and Lesubtil and Gonzo and Wolfsister and Buddur and tarabull were there too.”

“Cool pic.”

“Great shot! Ahh, those moments make it all worthwhile :)


Baume66 looks like he's wondering how that bighorn would taste with some gravy and Texas toast!”

“There's not enough firewood in The Canyon to cook that sucker.

Mesquite trees can be found in lower elevations.”

“...and right after that photo, they butted heads/horns to fight over a Mountain Dew, right?”

“and a case of Mint Jelly!

I always wondered what became of Lambchop after Sheri Lewis retired.”

“Hey hey............it looks like Lambchop grew a pair!”

“Cool!!

Tilt - I don't think Shari Lewis has retired yet”

“
Sorry to be the bearer of sad news:

Shari Lewis, requiescat in pace
August 3, 1998

”

“She's an ex-puppeteer.......”

“Way cool! If it weren't for the blurry front leg of the bighorn, I would have guessed that it was fake.”

“It's so weird that that's a sheep to me, looks more like a goat IMO.”

“great pic, they get acclimated lizs went chasing one in the badlands, I was not sure who I was worried for most”

“I believe Lambchop is in the Smithsonian.

Note: The above statement is incorrect.
Mallory Lewis, Shari's daughter is using Lambchop in shows of her own according to a listing in Wikipedia. Shari Lewis died in 1998.

“Holy cow, how the heck did you get this picture? Zoom?”

“That bighorn looks happy. LOL”

“Looks like Baumme is keeping an eye on his backside. I'd say the one holding the camera is in more danger. What a great shot. That is one definitely one to keep.”

“it was very wary of us...



it walked DOWN the side of a drop-off switchback. i looked down after it and could not figure out how it did it...

“Here's a few more, gives you an idea of how it went down
That's Crashbang and Oldog, not sure what Oldog is doing, the Sheep is this way, LOL.

"Which way do I go"

"I think I can"

"here I go"

Check out the dirt being kicked up

Yes he came down that wall!
Incredible.”

“freaking amazing!”

“can you make out that brown stain on my pants, HA I could have touch him as he walked by as he was still on the trail when we passed. Crash ,where's you picture of this”

“OH and Paige, REALLY GREAT pictures,”

“That first ones looks like he's posing for a picture by a human.”

“Great pics!

Ruby, that was my analysis exactly. :-)”

“Was Crash chasing it?”

“Somebody needs to tell that critter that cutting across switchbacks is improper trail use!

Tsk Tsk!”

“when he looked at me and put his head down as in the ramming position, he could take any freaking way he wanted. and Paige, you asked what I was doing ,there was another one on a bolder that I was taking a picture of”

“.....not bolder than the first, huh?”

“I was just joking you Oldog. It's just kinda funny in the picture. I never even saw the second one, you lucky dog you.”
