Sunday, September 4:

Packed and left the Yaak cabins at 8:12AM, 36 degrees (3 C)

Stopped and took a photo of the Yaak School District #24, "The Home of the Bobcats"

Sad we’re leaving Yaak, we stop and take photos of the Yaak Mercantile, Yaak Laundry & the Dirty Shame Tavern so we can revisit them in our photo albums.

Leaving town AB spots a large buck walking near the road, MS pronounces it a perfect 5 point!

We’ve seen lots of white crosses mounted on posts along side the roads. Found out that the highway department puts them up for each fatality. Each time the road is resurfaced they are taken down, if they were all left up, it would be too depressing for the people driving thru the area.
