The Million Dollar View in Sumpter, Oregon........................an elk playground! This is the view my cousin Wes and his wife Cindy see every day. The Elkhorn Mountains in the background and the field the elk, deer and cranes habitat.
Same view with elk of all ages. More babies. Such fun to watch them play King of the Field. Look closely & you can see more getting ready to come out of the trees in the background. Ahhhhhh! Life is good!
We were going to stay at an RV Park; but my cousin assured me The Bus could get in AND out of their place in Sumpter; so we are parked among beautiful trees overlooking green pastures just waiting for the elk to get used to us and again come down to the house. What a great place they have. This is the "main house". We rejoice in being in an area that practices what true thinning and reforestration is all about. We went for a drive around Whitney to see how much the landscape has changed. Whitney the Ghost Town in Oregon NOT the daughter. We actually named her after a cousin's cousin before the name became popular with the Houston gal. Whitney is just pretty cool; however you slice it.
Wes and Cindy had a "do" to go to so we spent our time trying to get the perfect hummingbird picture - and we continue to try and accomplish this task. Ahhhh! Life is good!
Elk in the backyard. Birds on the front porch. Can't get much better than that. Unless of course it would be grandchildren or neices and nephews
Finally there is the balancing rock which is still balancing. I rode the bus to school under this rock and was sure it would fall down before I was old. Well, guess what? That rock has been there for 60 years and probably has another 60 in it.
