Another great day on the mountains with the goats. How far is the hike in to your camp area? Randy

[goathiker]

Hi Randy! It's only a couple miles so the boys don't have far to hump our gear. =D

[erok2020]

Does the area you commonly hike have resident goats who are willing to pack your equipment for you - or are the goats yours?? Thanks

Hi Eric, Several years ago I rescued these 2 goats from the sale barn. They've become my best friends as hiking buddies. I've earned their trust and respect as their alpha-goat herd leader. They live in my barn at home as pets.
