	The Wenas


	The Wenas camp area is called Bar-B-Q Flats. There is a creek that runs through but may go dry as the summer passes. The springs always has water and isn’t far from camping.


	Campfires here need a special permit so check with the DNR first. If they are not allowed, we’ve found that ‘propane’ campfires are legal most everywhere so ask about them instead as they don’t put off sparks and cinders but you still get the ambiance.

The elk were plentiful this year and it seemed I couldn’t take a photo without them being in it. Every ridge and canyon held a herd of about one hundred elk.

April brought on the grasses just as soon as the snow melted off. We didn’t see any skinny animals here. Even the coyotes and grouse and rabbits were healthy looking.

The Elk Waller/wallow, depending on your ‘drawl’ in how’s it’s said. Wallers are found where the ground is wet and muddy so that would be near water and nearly always in a secluded area where the elk feel relaxed enough to drop their guard. The waller is ‘scented’ with the handsome aroma of urine and droppings from the bull to attract a receptive cow for breeding. Otherwise this mudhole is used to get rid of winter hair and irritating bugs. We found alot of these wallow/wallers in the Wenas area.
