Now I am seven rocky miles
in from the nearest paved road, at 10580', in a beautiful alpine valley, about
3/4 mile beyond Grizzly Reservoir at Lincoln Portal. There is a primitive campground at the
reservoir itself, with about five sites, but I chose to advance a distance down
the 4-wheel drive road, and found my present dispersed campsite. It's great, with a beautiful view looking
south up the valley, to Truro Peak on the right, Grizzly Peak on the left and
Larson Peak in the distance straight ahead.
There is a band of trees between me and the campground, small though it
might be, and the three sites taken by fishermen. The first to greet me as I took up residence,
were a pair of Grey Jays, also known as Whisky Jacks or Camp Robbers; old
friends these birds, as I see them Up North in Minnesota, as well as in the
mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Then
as I was finishing supper the first night, a doe strolled passed my truck,
grazing not more than fifteen feet away.
The next day, a chipmunk was busily scuttling around and between the
rocks of the fire ring. He seemed to be
gnawing at one rock in particular; I can only assume that there were essential
minerals there that he detected, or perhaps he was just sharpening his
teeth. All this was taking place within
3 to 8 feet from me, and he even ran over my boots once, while I stood silently
by. I managed to retreat a stride,
retrieve my camera, and get a few shots of the bold little character. Imprimatura: W&N Venetian Red. Drawing: W&N Ultramarine Deep. Painting: W&N Venetian Red, Cobalt &
Ultramarine Deep Blues, also a touch of Cerulean, Cadmiums Orange & Yellow
Pale. Rublev:Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre,
