Sunset

The day ends with the most gorgeous sunset I have ever seen. The clouds are changing from bright yellow to dark red within minutes, and the back of the mountain glimmers in a stormy red as if on fire. The fog rising from the hills looks like smore fueling the clouds above.

At least 20 elk line the top of an eastern hill ridge. Two are brave enough to work their way down, but are scared off by our horses. Apparently, this must have been their grazing ground yesterday, and they don't know what to do. After an hour they go about their own ways again. At 9:30 p.m., we get to go to sleep rather early for a change.
