What a great visit with some old friends. I got to Laurie and Randy Dack's condo in Fraser CO, just in time for a great lunch... They are such good people and we had a great bunch of fun. After lunch, we ran around Granby a bit and even took a tour of a grow house... A gentleman explained all the details of the science around proper agriculture, which was really pretty interesting. It was much more exact and detailed than I thought.
After that we took off the to the Rocky Mountain National Park to see the Elk and boy did we hit pay dirt.. There were several groups of Elk, and while the first bunch were out in the fields.....
The next group was very up close and personal... Check out the pictures below

| There was probably around 30 females in the herd and their babies. The one male in the video below was trying to manage the bunch but other males were trumpeting up in the woods, and then they came down. Then things got real interesting. |
The next morning we got up early because I had a long drive to Oklahoma. We said our goodbyes....
and then away I went. My goal was to make it to Woodward OK, which was most of the way to Trish's (daughter) family. It took 10 hours of driving to get there. I have learned that the key to long drives is to plan your stops for gas and food carefully, with about 2 hours of driving between.
