Quite a bit of rain today, and the roads are being damaged from the runoff. Not much exciting about this hike, except that we got out and exercised.

The big deal today was that the road veered around a corner, and we looked up to see a herd of 4 elk!!! Unfortunately, they ran off before I could get my phone out to take a photo. 😦 And then, we walked further, only to see a deer on the road, and it also darted away from us. It really sucks to see such wonderful wildlife and have no proof of it. Well, it’s burned into our minds.
