Spotted these Elk while walking on the road. That road was very busy that week. One morning as a large truck was speeding toward us an Antelope dashed across the road between the truck and us. The dogs were in the grass on the side of the road and as the antelope raced past Duke he exploded after it barking furiously. This scared Little Sally Pumpkinghead who bolted toward me. Her path put her right in front of the truck. I yelled at her to stop hoping the driver of the truck was still watching the road and not the antelope bounding away. He was and already had braked so Little Sally Pumpkinhead was safe. All in all, it was a tense 10 seconds.
The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.
