Plowing through this week of holiday elk-viewing, and today, December 28th, we arrived to nearly a foot of new snow, and no elk! After trudging down the hill and across the creek with Jed and Waylan in tow, shoveling off the the hay wagon and loading about a ton of hay, we still had no takers of the elk-variety. So, back up the hill with the people-moving wagon we plowed, and the boys working pretty hard. Then we dawned the beautiful bells on loan from the Ruth Boyd family of North Powder, Oregon, and you guessed it...out came about 27 head of elk. We certainly didn't get the entire herd to come, but at least this handful was apparently waiting for the ringing of the bells to alter them of breakfast time!
Come see us, and hear the full story of this set of 14 - 100 yr.+ old harness bells. We run through January 2nd everyday, then back to our weekend schedule through end of February.

Oh My! The bells are wonderful! Have not heard that since I moved from N Idaho!
