We reach the pass and have a quick lunch as the mosquitos are terrible. I am sure we all received our protein with every breath. Bonneville Pass is a long stretched out meadow ringed by peaks on all sides befor dropping off into the upper DuNoir to the east. It is usually very wet walking and this year doubly so. We left the trail and headed for higher ground to get out of the watery quagmire. Bighorn Sheep can often be spotted on the peaks above but not so this day.
After lunch Merideth and the two Meyers kids are busy searching out and picking various edible plants. Merideth is teaching a class on this very subject in Dubois this weekend. There are plenty available. Along with some no-no's that she points out to the kids they quickly accumulate what they need. Those kids are really into this-tasting and picking away.
Idyllic scene, Gary. Makes me want to sing "the hills are alive with the sound of music." :)
