Great Pic

That's awesome that you got so close; where is by the way? Idaho? Pioneers?

Re: Great Pic

This pic was on Granite Peak, Montana. I have seen a lot of goats on my climbing trips, but never this close. When we first saw him he was a few hundred yards away, I took some pictures and we continued on. After we had gone awhile I turned to look back ant the goat was following us. We stopped to watch what he would do, and at one point he came close enough to touch. He was not afraid of us at all. It was amazing!
