We are back from an ATV picnic ride. The ride on the way up before we unloaded the machines
we saw 13 head of mountain sheep a couple of rams were fighting in the road. Then in the next pasture we saw 4 deer, we saw birds during the day after we unloaded blue birds, ravens, a sparrow hawk, and on three elk, and three wild turkeys.
It was great we found a camp ground we had been trying to get to but did not get the right road until today. That was great, found another camp ground on the way to it. The one we went to had scenic attractions of info. about CC camps during the depression they had built a look out tower. This spot was called mount misery.
The fall color was glorious the huckleberry bushes were vibrant red. The road was smoother this trip and that was good just a couple of rough spots. Hubby showed me where he and our son had tent camped and woke up to 6” of snow the next morning. It was a complete surprise to them that snow was in the forecast this was an elk hunting trip. One of those man-cations I heard about on the news the other day a vacation for men.
On the way we stopped at what looked like a cabin a place the snow mobile riders can warm up in the winter. There was another place we got some info. men looked like they were on a mancation too, it was a forest ranger place I found out later.
We were close to the places that had fires and saw the trial heads that were closed. On one of our earlier trips in July, I think we stayed in one of the camp grounds that was closed because of the Columbia complex fire.
On the way home we traded ATVs and I rode hubby’s. and he rode mine for about ¼ of the way approximately 22 mi. I think we did 44 miles today.
