Mark and Hyrum are sleeping in the Henry Mountains tonight. It's Mark's first big hunt, and Hyrum's birthday present.

For you trivia fans, the Henry Mountains were one of the last-surveyed and last-named mountain ranges in the lower forty-eight United States. They were named by John Wesley Powell in honour of Joseph Henry, the first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. They were last mountain range to be added to the U.S. map. Before their official naming, they were referred to as the "Unknown Mountains."

It's wild, rugged, beautiful country. It even looks remote by satellite! The only wild, free-range buffalo herd roams around in the Henrys...no, that's not what they're hunting. They're after elk. They're hunting with some friends of ours, and they sent me these photos this morning. Thought I'd share.
