charlie - congrats. looks like the jarbidge trip was a miscalculation. Oh well, I'm sure it was good anyway. My inlaws are from Ely and I've seen lots of elk on the loop between cave lake(south of Ely) and comes out at duck creek (North of McGill) there are lots of creeks that shoot out off the main road. We just go out on the ridges that overlook the creeks and watch. They just meander out to graze....waiting for ol charlie Brown to hose one w/ his M.L.
