Elk Phlub

The following day (14) on the way to Mammoth Hotsprings, we stopped at the famous Painted Pots, which had all kinds of cool geothermal features. But the highlight was seeing our first Elk close up--like 10 yards away as we were walking up the trail. Joe clicked a couple times and then realized his SD card was not in the camera so none of the pictures would be recorded. Ouch! After getting up to the pots, he remembered that his Treo could take some pictures and then finally realized that his SD card could be put into his digital camera (Joe’s a little slow thinking these days). As we went down, that old Elk was still there, but really far away. This picture doesn't quite have the same affect. See it?
