[QUOTE="LBrandt, post: 340660, member: 2979"] Back in the early 90's I was on an early season elk hunt in Colorado San Jaun mountains. It was really mild and the elk were up high. I was at about 10,000 ft up on a canyon rock face glassing the valley below when I heard a raven calling and it sounded close but for the life of me I could not see him. After a minute or so I finally spotted the little black dot getting closer to me but below me flying up the valley. Just crystal clear sky and when your up that high the sky is such a deep blue. And so quite, just the sound of the raven is all you could hear, not even the jets headed to Cal. from Denver leaving those almost pure white contrails. It was about as peaceful a moment in my life as I have ever experianced. I can close my eyes and live it again. I did not get an elk that year but I did get a memory that will last a life time. The other thing I did while setting on that big old rock is I found a piece of dried out pine branch and took out my pocket knife and whittled it down and carved my soon to be wife's name on it. She still has it in her jewelry box and I think she likes it more than anything jewelry I have ever bought her. LB [/QUOTE]
