Luca77 and his son were a great addition to our crew this year and it was a pleasure meeting you guys. It was great seeing a good show of women and children camping out as well. I have a feeling it will be even bigger again next year.
Now if we could only silence those bloody trains LOL
A great picture of Brew teaching the kids how to glass......

Haha. Cant take credit for spotting the rams, that was Naomi and Peter.
Gone are the days that 20-30 would meet at the gas station and hand out maps and go for a beer and burger at the pub at the end of the day. Was shocked to see how many people camped out Friday Night.
As others have mentioned it was a great day. Met a few new people who I recognized from the sheep society but never knew their handles here. Hats off to the people (Peter and Naomi, Im sure there was a bunch more) who put this together to make it a great day.
As Blockcaver said, winning a Sitka Timberline jacket:razz: was the cherry on top of a great day. Hats off to Sitka for sponsoring the Wild Sheep Society.

Re: WSSBC SPENCES BRIDGE Sheep Count
My son and I had a great time, good to finally put faces to some of the names I see on here and spend some time around the campfire with good company...what an awesome community. Big thank you to the WSS for putting it on and to Sitka for the jacket my son took home, we'll be back next year for sure with some earplugs for that damn train!

Amateur:mrgreen: Spend a couple days in the fall there and one gets used to it. Just means you will be looking for rams in the morning. I'm a light sleeper and what gets me is the head light from the train. Theres been more then once that i have jumped out of bed thinking somehow the truck and camper were parked on the tracks with how bright that light is.:o
