| no partners | | A log entry to say that the Christopher Creek campground is being over run with cattle. (See cute photo of little dog guarding us against a big cow.) At least on the west side loop.
Was awaken at 2:30 am by a deep short grunt (?) sound, repeating about every 5 seconds. A cow about five feet from my friend's tent, chomping on grass. The sound was grass being cut by teeth.
The cow was unfazed by my presence. And totally oblivious to my LED headlamp on High shining directly into her eyes.
One guy left the campground early that next day, complaining that five cows were at his site all night, keeping him awake by mooing the whole time.
Speaking of "cows," also saw a female elk coming down from the hill (to the Creek) Wednesday evening. She was followed by a large bull. (Who bellowed ("bugled") out his call.)
On the drive home Thursday, we, unfortuantely, saw a dead female elk about a mile away on the side of 260 westbound. (Which is the direction that they were both headed when we saw them.) They all look the same to me. But size-wise, we think it was the one we saw evening before. |
