On Sunday Sue and Paul had to head home. The winds came up, gusting to 45mph so Gary & Carol picked us up in the Chevy Four Wheeler and we headed up on fire roads to Copper Mountain. Got to see the trees changing. Copper Mountain tops out at just over 6,900 feet. Gary hunts elk in this area so he is always scoping for the next victim.

Nice view across to Harney Peak, the highest spot in the Hills at 7,242 feet. They say it's the highest point between the Rockies and Europe.

The aspen were beautiful at this altitude. Reminded me of a Bev Doolittle painting.

Shot of the turkeys that came through the yard a few times a day. Dogs loved 'em!

The mornings were usually quite cool, sometimes into the 30's so Kandy and I would take the dogs down to Canyon Lake Park in Rapid City. It was a short 8 mile drive and a beautiful destination.

Monday morning we decided to be tourists and visited Black Hills Caverns. Kandy has wanted to go into a cave for years so we took the opportunity to spend a cool morning in a slightly warmer cave. Shot of me anxious to get started.

Shot inside the cave. Being used to Black Hills 'attractions" I wasn't really expecting much but it turned out to be a pretty good tour.

After the temps rose a bit, we saddled up and headed up to Lake Pactola. Calm late morning conditions presented great opportunities for photos.
