Big Horn Mtn Camping Trip

I just got back last night from a few days of camping with some friends in the Big Horn Mtns of Wyoming! I took the motorcycle down and had a good ride to the mountains...it also cost a heck of a lot less than driving the pickup!!! I met up with the guys on Wednesday night just in time for hot dogs and chili over the campfire. This was not a usual camping trip for me, in that we didn't move camp around and there weren't any hikes scheduled. It was just a time to relax and be in the high mountain air! I did do some rock climbing there, nothing too 'hard core' probably didn't climb anything over twenty or thirty feet, but it was fun. Yesterday we all did take a pretty nice hike up to the Medicine Wheel National Historic Site on Medicine Mountain. It was a short hike but the day was perfect and the scenery was incredible so we all just sort of took our time and enjoyed being outside. I had meant to meet up with the church group that was camping over in Red Lodge this weekend, but I didn't leave the Medicine Wheel until 5 yesterday afternoon and its easily a 2-3 hour ride over to Red Lodge from there...which isn't bad if you know exactly where you are going. So I just came back to town last night and played with the puppies and went to bed...I actually slept better on the ground in the Big Horns than I did in my own bed last night...must've been the cold nights up there!!! Pictures from the Big Horns can be found here. Also, as promised, pictures from my trip back east can be found here.
