tracking, tracking, tracking
yes, yes, tes,
My favorite is exercise.

I found a sign that seemed to be talking to me. I spend hours on a road and see not a soul.
Heh, do elk have souls?
I camp in a tiny little pup tent and am awakened before it is all the way light by the sound of elk bugling.
I get out of my tent wearing polartec pajamas. It is cold but I am all like where is my camera. The light ain't right for getting pictures but I try it just the same.
I see an elk cow skylined up on a ridge but she ain't the one making the racket.
I hear that squealing sound again and I cast my gaze about. I see the bull elk standing by the trees. He sees me and moves into them. He doubles back, stands between a couple of trees and watches me. No way would a picture of that work with my smart phone.
I back away and leave the animals with their privacy.

The days previous I ride up a scrappy, scrabbly road and settle into my zone of looking at the ground and skirting around rocks, ruts and mud holes.
I look up just in time to see an elk bounding off into the trees.
My hands are on handlebars. I got a camera strapped to the shoulder strap of my hydration pack. That animal is gone before I can even think to reach for it.
I just like it when a day goes by with a few of those sprinkled in.

@LoraineGB ha thanks for your honest sports fan supporter list. I think I made my list a little conservative as most had said they weren't spectators! I get sucked into the darts sometimes, 180! I'd love to go sometime, looks great fun!

@Dory_42 ah, lucky you! Yes, I've been to Port Elizabeth but about 15 years ago. I was in Cape Town for a few months and then travelled the Garden Route like most tourists seem to, stopping a few days in different coastal towns u til Durban. South Africa has a special place in my heart.

@bocasdelgrandpabob as ever, thanks for the story!
