Joann went with her sis to GJ. I went hiking up on Exhilaration. I hiked off to the south this time. The elk tracks up there are everywhere. But I didn’t see any. I almost stepped on three different cottontails. They were hidden behind sage brush and wouldn’t run until I was right by them. I also spooked a lizard. I found some cool rocks over there. I’ve walked above them before and didn’t realize what was below me. There was some shooting around that area again, but nothing close to me. Pretty warm, high in the upper 50s. iPhone 15 Pro pics.
