While in search of elusive Mountain Goats, we stopped at this profile overlook.

We had a terrific lunch at the Alpine Inn Restaurant in Hill City. We were going to have dinner here but we changed our plans as long as we were in town already.  Most days we have had lunch out an dinner at home if  we have dinner at all. Sometimes dinner is a sandwich sometimes we take turns cooking.

These two deer are locking horns.  They seemed to be young and this looked more like play than an actual fight. I will try to replace this photo with video I took of them later.
