Hot again. Since it was supposed to be windy I took off for a hike on the East Bull Spur atv trail which ties into the road by East Bull. The trail was powder. The ground is cracking and bushes were turning colors like fall, but sure not from cold. Saw a grouse family and lots of elk tracks, but no elk. No deer either. Lord we sure need rain. If it hadn’t been for the wind, it would have been way too hot. Didn’t see anybody back in there. Went about 4.5 miles in the loop.

Got cleaned up when I got home and later in the evening we went up on Bostwick to see where that Black Canyon fire was. Then went on up on P77. Didn’t see much. A few deer…one dandy buck (no photo). Great day outdoors. Sure looking forward to cooler days and nights.  Nikon Z50 II
