The Thorofare! Yellowstone Country. Flying from Cody over Ishawooa Pass and down Pass Creek.

This is close to a final edit but will get it uploaded before any more time passes or I do. It was a beautiful day to fly up the South Fork of the Shoshone River and Ishawooa Creek. I have never gone into the Thorofare this way. Mostly I would come in from the north since I worked that country as a backcountry ranger for the National Park Service. I did come in from Blackrock Ranger Station and Turpin Meadows when I was on assignment while working Law Enforcement for the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. We stayed at Hawks Rest Ranger Station in the Thorofare. I'd like to spend the summer poking around this country with a couple of old pack horses someday. A lot of drainages to explore on the west side of the divide and plenty of grass for ponies. I hear this country calling me. As always: There’s a land where the mountains are nameless, And the rivers all run God knows where; There are lives that are erring and aimless, And deaths that just hang by a hair; There are hardships that nobody reckons; There are valleys unpeopled and still; There’s a land—oh, it beckons and beckons, And I want to go back—and I will. It’s the great, big, broad land ’way up yonder, It’s the forests where silence has lease; It’s the beauty that thrills me with wonder, It’s the stillness that fills me with peace. Robert W. Service. "The Spell Of The Yukon." There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot. These essays are the delights and dilemmas of one who cannot. Aldo Leopold
