A strange noise woke me up around midnight. It sounded like a stampede of six or more horses running past my tent towards the coral and then off into the distance. But there were no pack animals spending the night there. They weren’t deer; those are a little more graceful and they tend to bound […]

The Montana Diaries, 2011 Day 5, August 2, 2011
