As I rolled Aurora out, I grabbed this quick phone pic before I nestled in. Man I love that paint job.

I decided to climb to Mt Baldy a run along the ridge. A little bumpy as I got close so I banked for the valley floor as I snapped another pic.

Once down near the deck I managed to find long shadows of wintering elk. Probably 500 or so in several groups.

To top off the evening, I had a beautiful sunset before I turned her toward home.

Not a bad way to spend a calm evening all alone.
