I had the day off with pleny of household chores to take care of. I woke up at 3:00 amafter having a preseason elk dream and couldn't get back to sleep. So the best way to cure my ailment was to get out of bed and go to the mountain. Yep, I caved. I was at the trailhead armed with binos and a camera before daylight. I found plenty of sign around and smelled them a few times while walking 10 miles on a ridge that runs off the mountain. The air was cool and I was underdressed with shorts and a long t-shirt. That cool air of the high country sure felt good. I was back at the house by one or so and got a nice afternoon nap. I beleive that the little excursion was just what the doctor ordered. I was so excited that I had to go to the archery shop and get a couple of packages of Razorcps. I am glad to say that I am ready now...................
