October 6, 2014---Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, California


Our first order of business this morning was to go to Lone Pine and buy mouse traps.  We came right back home and set them.  The Great Mouse Hunter was on a mission.  And he pulled out the big guns...Snickers!

We drove back up the mountain to search for the cache that had evaded us last week.  This time, we were successful.  It was easy.  We were just making it harder than it was.  One special thing we got to see while up at 7600 feet was a Golden Eagle circling over the landscape.  It was a beautiful sight!

We took a back road to town.  That wasn’t anything so unusual because most of the roads in this area are back roads.  I wanted to take some pictures.  This is the last week we will be here and three days of that will be taken up with the Film Festival.

After lunch at Karl’s Jr...hamburgers and a large order of sweet potato fries...we returned home.  Nothing in the traps!

We watched most of the Seahawks’ game against Washington.  It wasn’t the usual run away game Seattle is becoming known for, but it was a good game.  

Well, the “bug zapper” didn’t work, and we don’t have a cat (we have a Cummins), so it is a good thing we were able to set traps.  Two of them snapped tonight, ending the lives of two furry little critters.  Bill felt successful, but realizes there may be more.  He reset everything and is in hopes of a good “hunting” day tomorrow.
