Goats and goats

Blue Lake
North Cascades

Last summer, several hundred mountain goats were captured at Olympic National Park, then trucked and flown into the North Cascades for relocation.  Non-native to the park, problem goats had been eating and trampling vegetation, disturbing soil and "bothering" people on trails. 

Whee!
Quite an operation and apparently successful. Amanda and the girls took a hike up to Blue Lake this week, and were lucky to see a mamma and her babies. From a safe distance.  Like any wild animal, I guess they can be dangerous.


Here's Nova with the sweetie kind of goat.  School is out, and they spent a day at Carl and Tonya's goat farm this week. Wow. Much more fun than having bored teenage babysitter.

Check out the website for Sunnypine Farm in the Methow Valley.  The best chevre you've ever tasted.
