Drought and Elk

Drought season is upon us, bringing late starting monsoons and plenty of extreme heat. We traveled to Alpine, AZ this morning to check out some landscaping materials. Along the way, we saw several herds of elk, close to town, and even closer to much needed, precious water. Most were cows with calves, just like the ones that come in to water along our creek.
