Camping at Alder

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the camping trip, except for this deer or elk and the frog. We saw this animal on the side of the road. I don't know for sure but I think it's an elk? We saw it so close up--just right outside the car window on the other side of the guard rail. I could have leaned out of the car window and touched it if I wanted. We were laughing because we were so close to it and all it did was eat grass. Greg was whistling and clapping and yelling at it, but it would just look at us and chew grass. Hahahha!







Then the other story is this: One night Greg and I were walking between campsites and we could just see by the light of the moon. Greg was staring at a dark blob on the road to figure out what it was, and then it disappeared! So we put on our head lamps and ran over to find it. (He had been thinking it was a big fat rat.) It turned out of be a big fat frog! So he captured it and took it over to show everybody. It was kind of cute, and everybody swooned over it for a long time.



Finally Greg decided to let it go, so he put it down and we all watched where it went. It hopped away from our campsite and back towards the road.......then a car drove by, and we didn't see it hop anymore. Hahahha! Then in the morning we found a frog flattened in the road, right about where our little (well, big) frog had been hopping. Hahahhahaa! It was gross, and we felt bad but laughed about it too. These pictures that I took are just moments before the end of its life. Too bad...and it really seemed to like Greg. I told him that the frog knew who it's mama was. Hahhahaha!
