Ended up taking a nice 6 or so mile hike in beautiful weather. Saw a decent number of deer, a few bucks but no elk. The only other thing we saw were snakes sunning themselves trying to get ready for winter.

Great day, great hike in the morning. My son really wanted to pack a rifle so I let him pack a .17. He was to be the official porcupine shooter. He learned pretty quick that it takes a while to figure out how to sling a rifle comfortably. Good lesson for him.

I have a few pictures, but fighting with photobucket to get any uploaded.
