some doggie chasing

Could it be? I think I may have outsmarted my very non-compliant internety gadgets today and I am happy to say so because I have been stumped for many weeks now unable to post pictures of the last month or more. But there are now some photos up dating back to the time I arrived at the Linn Ranch, a little more than a month ago and here's the story...  So, before I left the Teton Valley (that's Victor, where I stayed to work and wait for Peter Linn to be ready to ride) on horseback in a "northerly/ westwardly" kind of a direction towards Bellingham, I volunteered on various occasions to move horses over the Teton Pass.  In effort to preserve the life of the truck and trailer, the Linn's tend to ride their stock from Jackson Hole to Victor Idaho, which makes a 45 minute ride behind the wheel take 6ish or so hours on hoof.  And the horses know the way so basically you can take the "back seat" and pretty much nap in the saddle- that is, if you can manage to stay upright and dodge branches with your eyes closed.  At any rate it is a beautiful ride, passing this way or that way over the Tetons.  Somehow the Tetons have become my stomping ground, which surprises me (in a happy way) as they are not exactly in route to Bellingham Washington.  But I'm not complaining.  They are gorgeous and intensely commanding as the youngest range in the Rocky Mountains, and the omnipotent "Grand" is never a tiresome sight.  Each post below without text are some of the doggie chasing we did when I first arrived at the Linn ranch
