Sending Jason packing --- into the Cloud Peak Wilderness

With Jason turning 40 this month I encouraged him to do something he loved for a weekend. Solitary backpacking. It's not for everyone, but is something Jason loves and hasn't done in some time. The closest "real" mountains to us are the Bighorns, about four hours away in Wyoming. After some research, he decided to head for the Cloud Peak Wilderness.

He took off Friday afternoon and returned Sunday with some spectacular pictures that he said I could share. In spite of having a stomach bug/altitude sickness the entire trip and encountering a high number of MOOSE along the way, he made it to/from the 13,000+ foot summit without problem. Way to go Jason!
