The Aspens

The season has begun to change and our first indication of Autumn is the tinge of yellow appearing on the Peaks. Like all families tired of working on their house, we escaped to investigate. On Sunday afternoon we trekked up to the usual spot on FS794 and hiked around with the dogs. James was especially fond of climbing on the stumps and fallen trees and then jumping off again, and again, and again.... The color is just beginning and it was magnificent at sundown. On the way home, several elk and deer attempted to become hood ornaments. As the VW has no hood, this was inappropriate and we honked at them instead, much to Jame's delight.
