Had a pair of goats following us around in the Goat Pass area (how ironic). I kept hearing and seeing them around our bivy sight off and on all night. Don't those guys sleep? Saw them at various times of the morning, afternoon, and evening too. Any biologists out there? They were all over our piss, but they didn't get pushy, just hung around waiting patiently.

I've had both diurnal and nocturnal encounters with goats. Nocturnal experience was up near Mt Anderson (Olympics) years ago. We camped on a sedge patch at the toe of the glacier and were kept up much of the night by a large male in search of sedgy snacks. More recently, we observed the small pack up near Wash Pass in the Liberty Bell/EWinter Spires basin. They seemed more diurnal, but I think they were willing to work overtime in search of salt. We used big rocks as splashblocks for urine but it appeared others had not been so careful and there was ample evidence of vegetation damage.
