One of my very favorite memories, was going up to Mormon Lake to hear the Elk Bugle!! I had never heard a live Elk Bugle, and Danny wanted to share the amazing experience with me. I think he got MORE EXCITEMENT than he ANTICIPATED!!
We arrived to the "spot," only after back tracking a few times . . . I have never seen Danny lost! I think this one time, he may have been a little turned around!! As we got out of the truck, we heard an ELK BUGLE!! I think my face lit up like a Christmas Tree, and I remember squealing in delight. Danny had to remind me to be quiet cause I was going to scare them off. I just remember the feeling of excitement in my body having just heard that elk bugle, I think I probably walked around and said, "Holy cow!" It was the coolest thing ever!!
Later we heard, something HOWLING . . . now so much fun!! Elk I am good with . . . things that travel in packs and howl, not so much excitement as fear!! We went for a long walk . . . one of the things I love doing with Danny is walking in the forest or wilderness, and having him teach me so much about Arizona, the forest, and the animals!! We found a blind, set there for a while, hoping to see an Elk. No such luck!
One our way back, we stopped at a road side pull off (we do this a lot when we got for drives, it probably quadruples our driving time . . . but, we pull off and look a lot!), and looked at HUNDREDS of ELK . . . . they were far away in the Lake! But, I have never seen anything like it!! It was totally AMAZING!!
