West Yellowstone Tour??

[Tater]

Ladies next year, if you want a beautiful fall ride come and ride the Tour D Vin in pocatello. The colors are amazing!!It is the weekend before the West ride. I will post it next year. The ride takes you out to McCammon and back in over buckskin with colors of yellow, red, orange and green!! In the evening they have a wine tasting and beer tasting event included in your ticket and all funds go to the local Family Alliance program to help families in need. Great event!![/B]

Sorry about the rain on your Yellowstone ride! But do keep us informed about the Pocy ride. I'd be interested.

Yes, please keep us informed...that sounds like a wonderful ride and the wine tasting afterwards, yummy. I realized, too, that I didn't drink or eat properly on the ride. I too, was just too cold to think of drinking anything cold...I guess because I was so WET!!! inside and out. I wore rain pants over my thermal tights and a rain jacket, but I sweat so much that I was wet inside and out...very little chance of getting warm. This weekend, the weather would be perfect for the ride...oh well...such is life....

Somebody wanted to hear the elk? Here's a recording my husband made this August:

"Here's a recording that includes thunder in the mountains south of La Veta, Colorado, bull Elk in Moraine Park, at Rocky Mountain National Park.

The sounds in RMNP were recorded around sunrise one morning, while Pooks was still asleep."

A picture of the campsite where I was asleep while he was down in the meadow with his recorder:



You can see our 30-year-old canvas tent down in the lower left; the meadow is further down (out of the pic).

Wow, thanks pooks. I love to hear the elk bugle. I will have to let my husband hear. Glad to know that the canvas tents last so long. We bought one this past year and for what they cost, they better last. LOL

I didn't know anybody still made canvas tents!

I was warned to NEVER EVER EVER put one up damp, because it will mildew and next time you go camping you'll open it and find holes. So if it's damp or raining when you have to pack up to go home, when you get home pitch the tent in the yard and leave it out until it's perfectly dry, then fold and store.

I don't recall ever having to do that, but I had a friend who didn't!
