Well, it's time to fill you in on the hunting trip to the high country ( as if some of you haven't already heard). We left on Friday night the 12th and drove all night (stopping at a Walmart at 3:30 in the morning in Denver to pick up a few supplies - crazy). After sunup, we wiggled our way up to where we unhitched the trailer, saddled up the horses, rearranged the supplies in the pickup and rode up the 6 mile trail to basecamp. In great need of coffee by this time. We set up basecamp, went and did a little scouting that afternoon, spotted a couple of elk across the valley, rode back to camp, ate and called it a day. Slept great. I'm glad God invented sleep - it's a good thing.
Getting ready to leave basecamp to set up our hunting camp about 1 1/2 hours higher in the mountains. A beautiful day to ride.
The great white hunters on top of a ridge that overlooked much of the flat tops wilderness range where we were hunting.
The High Country Hilton where we would spend the next week. A great spot hidden in the trees with a park (meadow) to our west, a stream to our north, and mountains all around. God blessed us with great weather and a great location to camp and hunt. Stay tuned for part 2 - I'm sure you won't want to miss it.

From the looks of the inside of your Motel 6, maybe you should invite Marquita along the next time!

You fellows are working really hard at looking tough... you especially. I don't buy it one bit.
