Road Trip, Saturday was nice drove Rex to Laramie , we saw about 50 head of Elk out on the Red Desert along I-8. Sunday had a nice drive up thru Shirley Basin to Casper. Had some board meeting and WSGA meetings, During Wed lunch the Governor came down to my table and asked about my shoulder surgery, his broth getting his fixed this week. Ride home yesterday afternoon was -6 and a stiff wind in Casper saw temps of -14 between there and Riverton, Stopped at the Rest area close to Crow Heart , Couple guys sitting inside talking told them to be careful in the cold , one said it suppose to get down to -15 tonight , said I never seen it get cold around Crow Heart and Dubois. Then Said I Lived in the coldest place in Star Valley and one guy said that I must live in Auburn, Said yes then he said he haul milk out of the valley years ago , told him I used to milk cow some 20-25 years ago and was the first Dairy off US89 in Auburn. He sat for a minute the said you are a Bagley, said yes sir , then he said you Jody. He a long haul trucker now , what the chances of running into my old milk hauler in the middle of no where after 20 years? Saw temps of -19 over Towagatee, about 50 Elk on the road thru Buffalo Valley, then probably a couple hundred elk on and next to the road almost all the way into Jackson. Then about 40 head of Elk close to the Rodeo Wall by Astoria in snake River Canyon. Slick roads and bitter temps along with Elk turned a 6 hour road trip into almost 8, was only -6 when I got home at Midnight.

Oh the Hackamore I donated to the Auction brought $850 and the Chinks got $550
 
Did have a pickup pass me before Dubois , pulled him back on the road a few miles from the Hatchet on the west side of Towagotee pass. Told him I thought he was going a little fast when he passed me on the other side of the mountain.
