Rivers are still too high to fish. Drew three photos on canvas panels. Yesterday morning I tried painting in my trailer but it’s too small in there. Need warmer sunny weather. Yesterday was sunny and my solar panel fully charged my house battery without running my generator.

Several times daily mule deer and moose graze the grass in my campground.

This morning I drove to Burgess Junction and then west down from the mountains to Lovell Wyoming. One spot’s elevation was over 9400 feet. There was a viewing area west to The Bighorn Basin.

Bighorn Basin

The Bighorn Basin is not a beautiful area. I saw Halliburton and Georgia Pacific signs for bentonite and gypsum mines. Gotta have the stuff.

This morning I was looking at my Bighorn Mountains National Forest Map. A couple of years ago I was researching streams in the Bighorns and marked promising streams with a fine marker. I laughed because Shell Creek right behind my campsite and a mile upstream was one of the promising streams I marked. Shell Creek can be seen in the above photo right behind my campsite.
