Wed/Thur/Fri

On Tuesday when Tom visited Jackson Hole to find a path to the river for the Cowboys, he found fresh tracks crossing the trail on the way back. There appears to be at least one male, maybe two, and seven to eight female big horn. On Wednesday he picks up the tracks and follows them off and on all day. Thursday more of the same, occasionally losing the trail then finding it again but never finds them. On Friday he shows the Cowboys the way he found to the river in Jackson Hole. It's muddy, they're concerned. Heading back south of the lodge to move the cattle north they find one of their cows has become stuck in the river mud sometime in the last few days and passed. While the mud is not deep, it's quality mud. Friday evening while headed to town, on top of Hurrah Pass, Tom finds two trailers. The Cowboys are beginning to load up the cows and return them to the ranch so as not to take any chances and lose another.
