Camp sight

Yes, I meant sight not site.  It was quite the sight when we found a site suitable for ourselves to pitch our tent and have a little privacy so we thought until we realized that Mama Mule deer and her fawn wanted to graze close by.   They did not stay long, however.  There was still one deer around our site who decided to plop down on some tall grass and just sat there watching us.  Up went our tent, set up our bedding, and ate some dinner before heading off to a program in a nearby amphitheater.  Later, we saw them all around near the roadside.  It was nice to see a "real"  deer not the Great Dane size we see down around these parts.   And the nights were nice and cool as would be expected in a higher elevation - a nice break from the summer heat.
Check out her ears!
