Sorry its been a few days since my last post but had to work a few days.....anyway today I went to an area that has loads of elk....but they have the area they are at closed to hikers or anyone till tomorrow, of course, because of the cows being so aggressive when they are calving. Anyway i got some nice scenery and a picture of a couple mule deer does down in a creek bottom i suprised. Elevation is about 10,300. The one picture is of an aspen that had been chewed on by an Elk....they like to eat the bark in the winter when the snow gets high. One thing i do have to quit doing though is, wondering whats over the other mtn. I ended up turning a nice 7 mile hike into a 12 1/2 mile hike. Oh well i think i left one of my love handles on the other side of that mtn. Ha Ha Ha....
