The Trail


As I started to tell yesterday, I just returned from my semi annual, mind clearing/ altitude adjustment/ elk hunt/ camping trip. My mind was cleared. Our camp was set up at 10,700 feet above sea level. For a week I didn't get below 10,000 feet and actually went on a walkabout Tuesday afternoon and climbed above 11,000 feet. I camped. Six close friends and family in a 16 by 20 foot canvas tent. Tucked into my sleeping bag by 8:30 every evening listening to the chorus of coyotes outside in the dark. Unfortunately, the elk hunt, for me, remained a hunt.
