After driving miles and only seeing beautiful leaves on trees, we stopped for a short walk. Actually, Philip took a long hike and we met him at the end of Little Bear Run trail. He saw a grouse, an owl, two deer and a wild turkey on his journey. We were told that around 6 o’clock in the evening was the best time to see some elk. The first group that we saw consist ed of nine elk on a distant hill. Then we drove to an overlook where a group of people watched six elk grazing.

By coincidence our evening meal was shared with two men who were very interested in the elk herd. One of them told us that he knew each one by name and there are more than 300 of them. He also grew up in the same area as my husband did, and so they knew many people in common. The other was a well-known photographer and scuba diving instructor who has traveled worldwide in his work.

It was 301 feet off the forest floor and we could walk across it. Can you imagine such a big job being completed today in 90 days? My husband said that it would take 40 men just to inspect it.
