In this picture are two deer that we watched for awhile. This was probably near the 9000 foot elevation. Click on the picture to enlarge it:

Along the trail:
After our hike, we drove a short distance to get to Silver Lake. Joe caught two fish.
I had my bobber yanked under three different times, but I didn't catch anything.
We stayed until it was getting dark and cold. On our way to the car we got to watch a big moose out in the marsh eating grass. It was too dark to get a picture. A little earlier we could see him romping and running. It was like seeing a colt playing. I didn't know moose did that.
When we got home I cleaned Joe's fish for him. He thinks it's way gross.
That's really not everything we did today. This morning we drove to check out a brand new park in our area to see if it might be a nice place to take the grand kids some time. After that we came home, ate lunch and took off on our labor day adventure.

What a great Labor Day mom! You definitely "labored" on you LONG hike - I'm impressed. I might have passed out on the side of the trail. ;)
That's so great that dad caught 2 fishies!! :)
Sue, If I was able to do it, you could too.
Your dad (and others) say I'm slow but relentless on the trail.
The Mom is a steady traveler, only knows one speed and never rests. Whenever I jump ahead like a jack rabbit and stop to take a break, there she is coming up the trail. Its a sight to behold.
This was a wonderful day, one that I will remember next to our Timp hikes and Lake Blanche. Kinda like an old person Triathlon, Sandy pond-Solitude Hike-Fishies at Brighton.
Oh my two fish measured over a foot long when placed end to end!
