Oak Creek feeding station

In Eastern WA, Northwest of Yakima on Hwy 12 they have an elk feeding station (1 of 6 they operate...I think it was 6), the main reason they feed the elk is to keep them out of the ranchers' fields.
I wasn't able to get over the pass last weekend to see them while they had all the snow in the valley but here's a few pics of 13-1500 head of elk. I also got few pics at their Big Horn Sheep feeding station.

This one I took with the camera lighting changed. I hoped I could get the lighter colored bulls and the ivory tips to pop. I think it turned out.

And one last one of Mt Rainier, taken on hwy 12 going East.

Nice opportunity, I wish it wasn't so far!

It's not all that far Len. From the edge of town it's only about 20 minutes and you're into a thousand or more elk and usually 20-30 bighorn sheep.

I wish I wasn't so new with this camera

I can see the picture, I hthink I have it, the lighting looks good then I get back and download it and it's either under or over exposed.
Thank goodness for digital or I'd be in the poor house.
