Oct 15 2016 - Elk Bugling

Early start today - at the visitor center by 5-30AM to get on the waitlist for the Elk Bugling tour.
We got on!
This tour is by bus and was supposed to go into the closed off "special use" area, but due to the earlier rain we had to stay on the public roads.






Saw plenty of Elk in the far distance. Heard plenty 'bugling' too.  Great fun.
Got to revisit many of the place that Joe had taken us earlier.  Joe knows where to go!
After another Joe+Donna breakfast we head back towards Mt Scott.  This time its open.  Sunny but windy.  Stunning 360 degree views from the top.   This is favorite place for the locals to walk or cycle up.  They are mad.

Then back to base.  We took a stroll down to the lake at the campground




Then we go off looking for more wildlife as the sun sets.
This is our favorite spot.  Treasure lake at sunset.



On the way back a full moon rises....
