Went on a jeep ride with Rick and Y up a forestry road to Goose Lake. The distance was a little over 7 miles and it took an hour to get to the lake. It was, at times, a very bumpy ride. However, the reward came with a view of a very pretty little mountain lake.
Y had brought some stale pecans to feed to the local critters. Boy, do they know the routine as we almost got overrun with critters all looking for the good eats.
If anyone knows what kind of bird below is we would appreciate you letting us know. We saw these in the area where we workamped for two summers in Custer and then saw them again at Goose Lake. We have not been successful in identifying them with our bird books.
Nice shot of an incoming of our unknown bird.
Here we are up over 11,000 foot elevation and my phone rings. The call got dropped shortly after it started but it always amazes me at where you can get a call these days.
Rick and Y say that they have seen mountain goats across the lake but no such luck this trip. We just got to enjoy the mountain splendor.
On the way back down the mountain, we did spot some deer which is always a special treat.
Great day spent with terrific friends.
