I took my dogs and my gathering bag for a winter walk in the Bristlecone pine forest behind our house. Elk have been here, browsing among the aspen trees and taking an occasional taste of the soft, nutritious bark. We shared their path for a ways. The sun dropped low as we meandered along, looking…
