We did another P77 run tonight.  Saw some deer and elk and of course the incredible mountains.  The snowpack right now for the Gunnison River basin is 18% of normal.  Very sad indeed.

We couldn't get elk photos as they were hanging out right under a power line - not very photogenic.  The others were pretty skittish.  We saw one group of what appeared to be three bulls.  They were big and light colored.  They ran across the road in front of us and over the hill.  About a mile up the road we saw them again still on the run with tongues hanging out.  They had covered a mile in rugged terrain as fast as we did in the Jeep.  It was a beautiful blessed evening.  I love how the aspens glow this time of year.  Thank you Lord!
