Four Wheelers on Labor Day, 2008


Unloading the four wheelers up the Kilchis River...

Bill and I had a great day exploring the roads and trails with Chris and Bev!


Excited to be on our way!













Chris decided his ears were cold.








You never know what awaits you on the side of the road...this is an ugly Turkey Vulture!






Bev








Bill


Forever seeking those proverbial elk!











There always has to be an "adventure." Bill and Chris
are fixing a flat tire on Bill's four wheeler. Thank
goodness Chris had a flat tire kit!




Finally done and successful too!






This time we chased a coyote down the road!




Spectacular views!











Bugling for elk























Looking back where we've just been...















Enjoying a packed lunch











There's always something growing out of an old stump.
This one was used during a logging operation as you can
see where a cable cut into it all around the base.














I could not find this in my book, but it
resembles Yellow Parentucellia. However,
the flower is not the same shape. Can
someone help me out?

I take weird pictures, but I think grasses are beautiful.











Chris and Bev
























We encountered this beautiful stream toward the end of our trip.









The vine maple is just beginning to change colors.

It is getting later in the day. I loved this particular trail.










We stopped at a trail head to view some maps.




Pearly Everlasting








Salal berries


I loved the seeds on this stump.








Sometimes a lone daisy can be very beautiful.





Goldenrod













Thistle






These seeds represent new life and hope...











Brushy!

Becky, I was so happy to hear from you on my blog. I'm glad you found us. Thanks for the compliments on my work. It is fun!

You and Bill sure know how to have a great adventure and you live in a beautiful area that is so conducive to it. I wish I could have heard what you did at the CCR concert. Must have been fantastic!!
