Today's adventure was amazing!  We picked up Claire in Montrose (I got to see Ally and Aaron briefly) and then headed to Paradox Canyon.  The scenery was absolutely spectacular!  Then we did some 'wandering' on an incredible back road (Dave Woods) where we came upon an immense herd of elk: well over 100, possibly as many as 200.  Of course we stopped to take pix, and there was some grubbing after Tom found some flint chips.  Then as we traveled on we saw even more elk.  Of course we were still out in the middle of nowhere once it got dark, and didn't get back to Montrose to drop off Claire until after 10:00 - so we didn't get home to Ouray until after 11:00.  Long day, but well worth it!  (Forgot to mention that early in the afternoon we had to swerve to avoid hitting a bighorn ram that appeared out of nowhere.)  And now it's definitely time for bed!
