Turning dreams into memories!
The last 3 years chasing mountains goats has been absolutely incredible!
I've been to some of the most stunning mountain ranges and witnessed scenery I've only dreamt of! All along the way meeting new people and developing new friendships.
In total? Well, 2 provinces, 240hrs driving, 10,632km travelled, 9 hotels, 28 nights away from home, 28 nights spent in a tent on the mountain (in some of the wildest weather British Columbia could throw at us), 4 float planes, 2 boats, Countless vertical miles burning boot leather going up and down mountain after mountain
Animals encountered along the way? Grizzlies, Black bears, Wolverine, Caribou, Moose, Stone Sheep, Ptarmigan, Lynx, Fox, Porkiepine, Ermine, Eagles
Fishing untouched remote lakes in the beautiful Cassiar Mountains! Catching my biggest lake trout, even catching my first grayling. All while listening for the sound of a float plane in the distant mountains coming to pick us up
I've pushed my body further than I ever thought possible, some days to exhaustion. Weathered out countless storms under a tarp. Spent 6 straight days in a tent weathering out a snowstorm. The mental game can be real some days. There were times when I was scared, some *dicey situations. Times when I was down on myself, hard on myself. Times I've been overwhelmed with happiness and fulfilment.
My dream was to harvest a mountain goat and I got more than I could have ever thought imaginable!
