Today I went out with my bro in law, his grand kids and my brother into the mountains about an hour west of me. Love this place! We were hoping to see the leaves changing but boy, we were about a month to late!

I found a nice looking grouse hunting area and no one was up there due to the snow. Saw about 12 fish in on of the lakes we stopped by along the way. Water is so clear you just wanted to dunk your head in and drink your fill. I felt like I was in the movie Jeremiah Johnson it was so pretty and pure.

Just some pics I thought you all might enjoy. Coming down into one pond area I found a track in the snow and towards the bottom in the mud, it was a pretty darn good size bear track!

















Now this was really messed up! Hunter orange moss on the side of this rock! You can still see the yellowish green moss that hasn't turned yet.
