Good times with friends in Idaho

Recently we had a small get together with a few friends in Arco Idaho looking for sage grouse. Here are a couple of pics from the trip.

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful country Stephen. It has been 2 years since my trip to sage grouse country. It is another world. Not everyone will appreciate the poop picture, but I collected dried droppings and burned them like incense when I got home, gave the house a sage smell. Thanks for sharing.
