On Tuesday morning, we took it slow and easy. Jeff cooked breakfast
while Keith and I got the horses fed and watered. We pulled out of camp in the early
afternoon and headed to the Cirque. |
| We only had 3 miles to go and at the rate that we were travelling it would
only take about an hour and a half. This picture and the previous one was at a small
lake on the North Fork of the Popo Agie River (Popo Agie is pronounced "Po Po Zhuh)
where we stopped to water the horses. |

We debated over where to camp for a little while and finally decided on
here. This was a very large meadow about a mile and a half from the actual cirque.
It had feed and water for the horses, plenty of trees (behind me in this picture)
and had a great view. It's hard to not find great views up there. |
| The proper name for the meadow is Lizard Head Meadows and is at
approximately 10,100 feet of elevation. Keith was feeling slightly better but far
from 100 percent. I had a slight headache that could have been as much from
dehydration as it was from elevation. We spent the remainder of the day being lazy. |

We hung out at camp and got the horses settled in as we intended to hang
out here for a couple of days. We spent the rest of the day just hanging out,
reading, eating, chasing down the horses when they would start to stray, etc. |
