Last year a momma elk with a calf decided I needed to learn some respect. Well, we’re back in Estes Park, the scene of last year’s confrontation.
Can I find another elk that wants to kick my ass for no reason? Maybe this one?
Sunshine, for the first time since we arrived at the Front Range in Colorado.
See that mountain in the distance? This one.
That’s Long’s Peak. That’s where we’re headed today.
Here is what it looks like from this side this afternoon.
We’re at Elk Meadow RV Park.
3,053 to Fairbanks!
…and a gazillion phalaropes.
It gets better when they get home.
We’re still three thousand miles from Fairbanks and it’s snowing already!
