Recently I was overcome with a compelling need to go sleep in the forest. Not too far from the highway at my destination was a beautiful clearing with spruce, fir and aspen. The latter of which was in full display of it's fall splendor.

These two were spaced a bit close, but otherwise worked just fine to put up a hammock.

They were however a bit young and jostled about in the wind storm that rushed in just before dark, making it very hard to get any sleep. At 2 AM, I decided I couldn't take it anymore and broke out the tent for what ended up being a very windy night with bull elk bugelling all night long not too far away. This was taken in the morning before breaking down.

The ride home was perfect though. Sun, calm skies with no wind or rain. Just a beautiful drive through hills peppered with turning aspen groves and a few lakes to compliment the fluffy clouded skies.
