Just got back ... from another trip up to Hardware Ranch, on a wildlife quest. We saw quite a few deer, a dipper, a kingfisher, two golden eagles, and five gorgeous bull elk right near the mouth of the canyon, just east of Hyrum. They were up on a knoll, lying down and surveying their dominions (and in their minds, I'm sure, their subjects). One of them had a spectacular set of antlers, 12 points with a spread of 5 to 6 feet. We also saw several beaver dams (just below Hardware Ranch itself) that were snow covered, but there were little muddy gullies carved through that snow – where the beavers travel from one of their ponds to another.
Unfortunately for our enjoyment (we like to drive very slowly and gawk), there were bazillions of cars on the road today. Weekends are always busier, but today was particularly so. Oh, well...
