On 17 September through 20 September, Robin and I took some time to celebrate her birthday, celebrate her recovery from surgery and leave the TV, radio, computer and telephone in Boise while we traveled north. It was an awesome time at Wapiti Meadows Ranch – see the sidebar for a link. Diana and Barry Bryant are gracious hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. However, due to the destruction of the habitat and environment for the elk in a 650000 acres fire in 2007 and the introduction of Canis lupius canadensis (Canadian wolf), the elk were heard but not seen. Too bad. I was there in 1994 and the elk were extremely plentiful. (I found a cache of 15 biface ceremonial blades dated at between 6000 and 8000 years). Here are some photos of the trip. Do enjoy!

Cheers!
