After several mountain pass crossings the first day, with elevations from 7000 ft. to 13,200 ft., we decided to take a shortcut up the Poughkeepsie Gulch.
One the first day, we traveled above the E.P.A. debacle to run into hunters stalking deer. We decided to take lunch and while stopped at 11,000 ft. watched 2 eagles chase 4 Mule Deer bucks back and forth across a rock glacier.
If the deer didn’t run, the eagles tried to bite or scratch them to cause a crippling wound, but running across those rocks on the side hill could break a leg. We didn’t have the right video/camera equipment to get a shot, but it was something you don’t see every day. Those eagles chased the deer a 1/2 mile one way, then back.
And at the top of Poughkeepsie there was another strange story.
