Mike is in the back country over by Cody Wyoming helping friends Seth & Alden with a full camp of elk hunters. It is hard, these days, to find people who know how to pack a mule, how to ride a horse, and how to be in the back country. I suppose this is not a big revelation, but it is a reflection of a niche that is becoming something of the past.
He will stay for the elk season, their last day to hunt being October 22. Mom will visit to care for the critters (Smoke got left behind, Ruby is up in camp) while I travel for work to Santa Fe mid month. It is HUGE to have her come and take care of things so we can both be away. Thank you Mom!!
Mornings have been cold, down to the 20s. The growing season is over, the colors are blazing, and the season turns. These blue sky fall days are some of the very best of the year.
Here are some late season pictures.
