I descended to the South Fork Williams Fork creek and started the long haul up the other side.\u00a0 Near the top I caught up with Gaucho who was sitting on some rocks below me.\u00a0 I tried to sneak up on him and do the growling-bear-scare game we have been playing, but he just calmly looked up and said “Hi TicTac!” I think he is immune to being scared now or he heard me.
