The halcyon days of summer are here.  (If you have time to enjoy them while you’re working your ass off.)  Perfect weather.  Spectacular scenery.  Big traffic jams in the Park as tourists go frantic over animal sightings.  I’m a bit jaded, but I did see something cool – 4 or 5 elk swimming accross Ox Bow Bend.  (My camera’s too wimpy to get an image of that.)

8:16 a.m. view of Elk Refuge from Broadway & Nelson.
