Elk Camp: Last Day, Big Rain

Luke Clayton

Folks, this is going to be short and sweet because I am heading home from the Colorado mountains.  As many of you know, we have been up here at elk camp for almost a month, and this week has been suuum-thing.  

We're hunting up here at a ranch outside Steamboat Springs, and we have had an unbelievable amount of rain.  The rancher tells me he's never seen this much rain in his entire lifetime. 

I have been safe and dry in my tent, but my nephew's tent was washed away.  We're packing up for the flat land of Texas in the morning.  I'm a little anxious about the trip, but we'll be fine.

Take a listen to my last call from elk camp.  

Until next time, be safe and enjoy the great outdoors!
