There were several types of mammoth, all members of the elephant family. Most widespread was the Woolly Mammoths, which ranged across all northern continents and grew a very long, thick, hairy coat to keep out the bitter cold of the recent Ice Ages.
The woolly mammoth was roughly the same size as modern African elephant. Males reached shoulder heights between 2.7 and 3.4 m (9 and 11 ft) and weighed up to 6 tonnes (6.6 short tons). Females averaged 2.6–2.9 metres (8.5–9.5 ft) in height and weighed up to 4 tonnes (4.4 short tons). A newborn calf weighed about 90 kilograms (200 lb)
The woolly mammoth coexisted with early humans, who used its bones and tusks for making art, tools, and dwellings, and the species was also hunted for food. It disappeared from its mainland range at the end of the Pleistocene 10,000 years ago, most likely through climate change and consequent shrinkage of its habitat, hunting by humans, or a combination of the two.
Ash, mahogany and oak segmented bowl. My first segmented piece. Messed a few things up, but for the most part I like how it came out.
A selection of photos put together in a grid. These were taken as part of a project exploring the body. I focused on its differences and simalarities-for example finding scars, blemishes and different muscles/bone structures in a range of individuals.
Although Lost Creek Wilderness was a bit of a disappointment the day before, the wilderness would have the chance to redeem itself. I woke to the coldest morning yet. It was 42f and although the rain had stopped, the vegetation was wet and unfortunately I had to walk through it. Needless to say I was glad I had my cold weather gear with me. The sun was out but the trail is on the shady side in the morning.
The hiking through the meadow was easy, not steep at all. I saw plenty of flowers and some strange pits with logs across them. I don't know what they were for. Altogether it was about 6 miles of hiking through the meadow including what I had hiked earlier. A couple of miles later is Segment 5 at Long Gulch Trailhead and shortly thereafter is Lost Creek Wilderness, part 2.
This is where the trail really gets good, not just good ... great. Awesome views, sweeping panoramas, pleasant meadows and forests. Each time I thought something was fantastic, the next view was even better. Into the woods and out of the woods. The weather was very cooperative as well .... during the day, anyway.
Every Colorado Trail hiker knows the thing to be concerned about are thunderstorms. You can count on them nearly every day and you don't want to be exposed and definitely not above treeline. I hadn't been above treeline yet, but after a 20 mile day, I chose a campsite which was exposed, overlooking the valley and the town of Jefferson. It was a nice campsite where I could see the clouds and inevitable storm coming. Fortunately, I was able to finish dinner before it started.
