Buck Pasture Backpacking Trip

[TyeDyeTwins]

After driving over 100 miles EvilTyeDyeTwin and I saw that we still had many more miles to go.


Daisy the dog and I ready for action at the trailhead.


Like any classic Uinta adventure, there were river crossings.



As the miles of trail passed, the urge to fish finally took over.






And soon the amazing views took over!





At 9,400 feet of elevation, the 13,000+ foot peaks around us only enhanced the beauty of the river we had all to ourselves.



The fish were pretty too.



Fishing took 2nd priority once some classic Uinta standard thunderheads started popping up. So after much consideration for the nights "super moon", we chose the pasture.



Of course there was a needed discussion about the rules in this dog house.



Firewood was collected, the tent established, and the dog was finally out of energy.......ah the good life!



Made better by......



Thankfully the clouds kept their beauty at a distance.



With the threat of storms at bay, it was time to get into some fish!





Me fishing near our camp.



Me holding a decent sized Brookie for the camera.


Hard not to get caught smiling in a place so beautiful.



EvilTyeDye managed a few Mountain Whitefish on the fly.



Each passing stretch of the river was more beautiful than the last.



Me getting in one last stretch of river before hiking back to camp. With close to 100 fish caught, it was a great success.



With the recent storms lately....getting this fire started took over an hour of HARD work.



After a VERY cold night without the proper gear, whiskey and no food the day before, the fact that I threw up a triple shot of Whiskey.....you could only imagine we both awoke feeling like champions. So no pictures were taken till we reached the sight for sore eyes, the car.



One can feel the tired look on this cutie of a pitbull.



On the way home opted not to go through Evanston WY. Insted we took the Scenic Mirror Lake Highway 150 back to SLC.



Bald Mountain from Highway 150.


Slow moving traffic, like this RV, must be why Google Maps claims the Evanston WY route is quicker.

Daisy is quite the photographer, steady paws, and a good eye for framing a shot.

Speaking of shots, as a mod, you can't advertise liquor on the Utah site unless they are a BFT sponsor, and really man, no puking in public. Keep that shit in the bushes!

Had I known, woulda passed you the torch, and you wouldn't have problems lighting that fire. Tequila is probably more flamable, that girlie cinnamon crap has too much sugar donthaknow.

Daisy was just along because my mother went out of town and I was stuck dog sitting. It was her 1st trip backpackin, and it was my 1st as well.

EvilTyeDye gets the credit for the pics, always love having him along as he really has a nack for it. Lots of time shooting, loading, editing, etc. One of the pics in this report might wind up on my wall soon.

If the liquor pic is an issue I will blur the logo. As for the puking....I think I was just playing a little "catch and release". I was really hoping it was not a water filter issue or an illness.

Sorry bro, my notepad doesn't let me change colors or I would put the whole thing in sarcasm font. TDs post are always bold and blue, mine should always be italic and green!

I need to try taking my pup packing. I know she'd enjoy going some where more than sitting shoreside. Herding breeds...

Looks like a great way to spend a weekend in my opinion.

[font "Times New Roman"]Love that place. We use to hunt up there in the wilderness area. I caught my first fish on a fly rod right before you cross the river. Makes me want to go back and fish the river. Also nice write up and pics.[/font]
