The Elk

On the 4th, we got up early,(sick and wrong on a holiday Mark!),for a great horse ride. Mark is right, you do have to be on your horse, and in the canyon (don't ask where, I can't even find "Koholowo Girls Camp"!)by 7 am, to see the elk and their babies. The elk were awesome, not only to see but to hear! The moms make a noise, kind of a whine, to call their babies. As we walked up on them, they were as curious as us. They just stared, so we started whining at them, then they would do it back. We watched them as long as we could stand,the mosquitos were so bad, the horses were dancing around, but it was awesome. On the way down the canyon, the trailer had a blow out. That's not great on narrow roads,unloading horses, and hoping no one hits into us while fixing it! So great to have Bryan,(Justine's *friend, who leaves for the N.Carolina Mission in October)there to help!
