Elk County Visitor Center

This is the last page about the vacation.  It is out of order because these pictures got lost.  When I was originally blogging about the vacation as we were traveling I was uploading from my camera each evening.  On the day that our van broke down the camera also got lost (seriously, you have no idea how many things went wrong on this trip).  The Camera was eventually found but the the pictures that were taken that evening were forgotten in a cell phone.  The missing piece here is that before we rented the van we tried a suburban, the hotel drove Craig to pick it up and then he picked us up at the hotel and we went to this Elk Country Visitor Center.  It was free and one of the most educational places we visited on the vacation.  But we only had the cell phone with us so my apologies for the poor quality pictures.  Oh by the way, 1 car seat, 8 people and their luggage do not fit in a 2012 suburban.  Just so you know.

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation educates people on the importance of conserving Elk and their habitat for future generations including hunters.  We learned so much about Elk habitats, hunting practices and the history of hunting these animals.  (don't worry, nothing gory ahead)

 

There were learning tables and hands on activities for all ages.

 

 

 

 

 

We found where we live.

"Mommy is this where our friends moved?"

  "Yep!!  Pretty Close Elayna!"

 

 

 

 Love this display showing the types of tools Native Americans made from elk bones and antlers.

Thanks for following along while we traveled! 

We are sorry we didn't keep up with the blog better in 2012. 

 We have plans to update much more often in 2013.

Happy New Year!!
