BevLive: at Milton Scott’s

Milton was all hospitality, meeting us at his gate and guiding us into a lovely fenced field where we could let our dogs run free while we stood around reliving the high and low points of the trial.

Canadian Finals trial field

This morning we found Ken Price and his family parked next to us. Joined by Milt, we all took turns working a very small portion of his hundreds of sheep. Hard to understand how any of us failed to win–our dogs all looked pretty good.

Turned out we were parked in his trial field. Must be a lovely trial. The field is nice and big with a little bit of lowness out about 450 yards which hides the sheep very effectively. Got to give poor Hemp another "redirect on the outrun lesson." I keep hoping he is like Helen Keller and one day the penny will drop and he will magically understand what I'm trying to tell him. Not so far though.

Amanda and Milt left around 11:00 to go truck shopping. Tempting as it was to go watch someone else spend gobs of money, I decided to head south and try and get a chunk of the Utah trip behind me. Hence my current location in Helena, Montana.

I now feel I have seen quite a bit of North America. This sure is as pretty as any of it gets. I decided to stop early so I could drive through the rest of it in the daylight.
