Final Sheep! Part 3

We hiked further the following day, and looking back at our starting spot, we were in there a good fifteen miles. An hour later, after getting on top of the mountain, we all sat down to glass.  Shawn and Dustin went for a little hike, which was actually a run, and spotted four rams five miles away just west of our location. We were all so excited and went back to camp and made a plan to head over there the next day.  After several hours of glassing, to our dismay, we never saw those sheep again.  Instead of waiting for a miracle, we decided to make this happen, so we started hiking again.  Instead of going straight up the mountain, we were blessed to be “side-hilling it”.  We found a level spot and made camp, that way we could have two options, going to the right or the left.  Shawn and Dustin had a good feeling about the right, so that’s the way we went! Trailing behind the two twenty-year- olds is a real hard task.  While my daddy and I were huffing it, the boys were already spotting!  They spotted a group of six rams, right below us, and motioned for us not to move.  Soon Dustin came bailing off the mountain saying, “There’s an absolute toad in there, Sara!”  We headed back to camp as quickly as we could to grab supplies that we would need to make a stalk when, accidently, one of the rams spotted us, causing them to run off.
