RMNP - GR8 Elk Sightings With T&L 09Sep18

After a day of camper repairs & prep, Kala and I rolled into Boulder to dine at Eureka! with Tom & Leslie and grab them for a caravan to Morraine Pk and a day in the RMNP partying with our old buddies. We made it! And enjoyed lawn games (Pentanque - an ancient Parisian game played with steel balls like the adolescent elk later in the post), totties and a good dinner before observing the coolest elk rutt scenario we've ever encountered. An (effectively) 28 yr old adolescent bleeted a passel of ladies from a older (effectively 39), stouter gent who had 70 and lost most to the youngster. The exodus and roundup by "our guy" was amazing. We were 20 ft from him. In the process, the stud chased off a number of posers, younger (effectively 18) males who were hopeful, but losers. Great experience for a rutt - right in Morraine Pk and our campground. No pics.
