Last Wednesday Fred and I went up to Refrigerator Canyon to begin our journey to the hunting spot.
The weather was a little chilly that first morning but ended up being a nice day for a hike and horseback ride.
Hiking up to our first look out Wednesday evening.
Hiking to our other spot on Thursday morning.
It was very cold and windy. Luckily, my guide suggested we bring a sleeping bag to keep warm. While he scouted for elk I took several naps in the warmth of the sleeping bag 😊
Here I am putting Parker in the corral for the night.

Friday morning we were all ready to go out - had our packs and guns on - then it started to rain. It rained most of the morning and some of the afternoon. We decided to head out around 1:00pm when it stopped raining. It was very cold and windy. Not an elk to be seen. So we headed back to camp around 5:30pm. Decided to have a fire to get warmed up.
We had decided to leave Saturday but before heading out, we did ride the horses up to our look out point - after it had stopped raining again. Still no elk but it turned out to be a beautiful day.
We didn't get an elk this trip but we did have a nice time together in the wilderness and enjoying God's beautiful creations.
