On the road again...

Cue the Willie Nelson tune! I just returned from a couple of days in Lewistown, MT for annual 4-H Update. This is a conference that we have every year to remind us how to work with kids and introduce us agents to new policies that the state is enacting. This year was more of the that. The state is now requiring criminal background checks for all volunteer leaders for the next 4-H year (October 1). I am not oposed to this, but it will probably meet with some resistance due to the cost of conducting the searches.



Now, more fun stuff. On my way up to Lewistown, I got to shoot some pictures of the Little Snowy and Judith Mtns. I drove a little ways into the mountains and enjoyed the scenery, saw some wildlife and just enjoyed the time out in the backcountry. I did see nearly a dozen bald eagles flying around, which to say the least was impressive! I was hoping to see some elk, but found only mule deer and some pronghorns (I didn't shoot any pictures of them). Pictures from the trip can be found here.
