A frustrating morning hunt today.  I really thought the bucks would come through, but it just never happened.   Only one little skipper that shows everyday and a dozen or so does.   I sat until after 9 and than hung a new stand for the evening along an edge we've seen the bucks travel along the past few nights.  

Here are a couple photo opts from the morning sit.  The first is a Clark's Nutcracker.  Pretty cool bird with an incredible Colorado blue sky.


 

 

Another of my girls....that always walk by me no matter where sit.

Ok folks let's stray away from the hunting for just a bit an venture to something very cool.  

The gentleman we are staying with and his lady friend are very well respected in the Native American culture.  Bill is considered a fire keeper and Nancy is a healer.  One of their very close friends, Myron recently passed away.  Myron was also very active in helping to maintain the ancient culture and history.  Myron owned a piece of extremely rural land on the Utah Mesa.  He lived their on and off and had hand built several structures, keeping with his Native American history.  Cathy and Donna had the privilege of visiting this very special place.  

Here are a few photos from their visit.  Cathy did not feel comfortable taking photos of the medicine wheel or inside the sweat lodge but she said both locations were very special.


This is the main home.

 

 

 

Here's is a pizza oven they constructed.

 

Here is the outside of the sweat lodge. Cathy and Donna did go inside.  They had to crawl in and enter the circle from the west.

The last structure Myron was building was an updated main house. The workmanship was incredible with all the materials coming from the land, with the exception of the glass.    Unfortunately he never finished, hopefully Bill will move forward with his friends project.

Great stuff Tim!  Your trip is so much more than just a hunt, and very interesting.  But of course it is still a hunt, so I am sure hoping that part comes together for you soon!

Mid-day yesterday we all decided to take a ride into Telluride for lunch.  For those of you that have never been to Telluride, forget the whole Hollywood image.  Yes, it's an extremely wealthy area but without a doubt one of the most beautiful scenic towns in America.  No matter which direction you look your "wowed"!

We found a small tucked away deli and had a few sandwiches, walked around town and than headed over to the "free" gondola ride up the mountain.  These photos are fantastic but still don't come close to showing the incredible expanse of the area.
