I drove up in the national Forest where I do my elk hunting to do some camping, and found the area parched dry. Lots and lots of deadfall, and areas where many Aspen trees were stripped of bark from elk foraging. This was at about 8200ft, and very disconcerting. The peaks still had some snow on them, but the high meadows that sprout small creeks were barely damp, and the creeks were dribbling like it was September, not May. Its almost time for the elk to drop their calves. I didn't see or hear any sign of wolves. This was above Pinedale, Wy. However, the Lodge at the Big Sandy opening is still closed I was told, so there must still be snow up there. Never the less, fire danger will be really high this summer.
