Don't Pee too Close to Camp

Post by NotEnufTags » Tue Aug 18, 2009 11:02 am

I recently posted some awesome golden trout photo of my brother's 70 mile back packing trip. Well here I go living vicariously again. He and a couple of friends just got back from a five day back packing trip into the bear tooth moutains in Montana. The lake they packed into was very remote. It was difficult to find a flat spot for tents.

On the first night, they heard animals in camp. They kept tripping over the tent lines. They next morning they met their friends that stuck around for the duration of the trip.

Apparently the goats enjoyed the salt found in human urine. They had peed in camp before retiring that first night and the goats came in to lick it up. The goats followed my brother and friends around and every time they peed the goats came a running. lol With no other flat spots they kept the tents in the same place and learned to live with the nightly disturbances. My bro said that there was wool everywhere when they packed camp up. It seems the goats shed just in time to start growing a new winter coat.

If he sends me pics of the fat football like brookies they caught, I'll post some up.

My bro said they would paw at and lick the spot they had peed on until there was a 6" deep hole. Who need's trophy rock when you can just pee.

Here a pic of a fat brookie from the trip. It's hard to see from the photo but it's about 4" wide.
