The wind blew smoke from a fire south of my local made for a nice sunset this evening , was able to get a few nice pics through my binos with my cell phone , this was one of the best
Brought the snorkel to the lake this year , been cruzing back and forth in front of the cabin in 5 to 10 feet of water and pulled this crap up off the bottom of the lake , the little mariachi has become our official beer opener this trip !
Home from the lake and back in the elk woods this morning, no luck on seeing elk today on our hike unless you count 3 cows on the side of the 2 lane black top in some guys yard this morning, On the way to our park point.
the purpose of today’s hike was to look for a short cut through a patch of reprod to a clear cut we like to hike to on one of our hunting loops and cut of 35-40 min b not having to walk the logging road all the way around. This pic below I took in the middle of our bush wack looking for a shortcut, ONX maps is a game changer for navigation in crap like this
Eventually we got through and to the clear cut on the backside of the reprod and an elk trail
One of the views from the glassing point we wanted to figure out a short cut too , then if find elk you and pick the way you want to go after them from this location
hiking back out , our truck is on the other side of the clear cut in the distance on the right of the picture , I put a small red arrow .
the rain came in today all though it was light , it’s been around 50 days without it. The elk woods needed the moisture, back at the truck. It was just over 7 miles to get back.
Y’all out here claiming to be ski bums?
hucked a 16’ backie on a 14’ tramp last night whilst trying to teach my friends 5yo son how to send it.
stone cold sober btw.
and no I didn’t pass out.
Let me enjoy this pain.
