you know whats really odd to me is that on the south side of that same hill, facing the eagle golf course, or whatever it's called, theres a trail that goes all the way up to the very top of the same hill. you actually end up looking down onto the top of the Bump. Theres no gate there.

Oh, but the sheep don't go by that trail, just the Bump N' Grind.

Oh great. That was a secret, like Skyline used to be. Good thing no beer's at the top so it'll never get that popular.

They won't tell us where the bighorn are as it could hurt them, but the trail is closed?
So, either the bighorn ARE there (and therefore at risk),
or, the bighorn are NOT there (and therefore no need to close the trail).

I guess they could close ALL trails EVERYWHERE so we really don't know where the bighorn are.
