Night out on the town, or should I say mountain...

Wes and I had a big night out on the mountain while baby girl was camping with grandma and grandpa. We took off early enough that we could be up there with plenty of daylight left to wait until dark and see what all we could find.


First animal spotted...a black bear. We sat and watched this guy or gal for a long time. It walked along a cliff edge for awhile then came down onto the cliffs and rolled some rocks looking for food and then came down into the berry bushes for some sweeter goodies. While we sat and watched two other people drove by and had no idea what we were sitting out on the hill for. When I turned around to come back down I thought it would make a neat picture, town is at the very bottom. It was really smokey up there and you can see it in the pictures.


We went up a little further and sat and watched a lot of elk. Listened to them bugle and talk and even a couple of bulls fighting. We sat there for quite awhile, while sitting there as it was starting to get dark we heard a mountain lion and then a bunch of turkeys. What a night. That's what I call a good night out on the town. We were back home in time to blog about it and watch a movie on the couch!

Town is way back in there.

Can you see the bear? It was rolling rocks off the cliff.

I really need to download a good photo editing software. Some of these are super clear and could be blown up.
