I saw the Elephant!
Seeing the elephant” was a phrase thrown about during the days of the California Trail migration.
“Seeing the elephant” meant doing something surpassing anything you had done before, experiencing something on the trail that was so big, so terrifying, so huge that it was unheard of, beyond belief.
Well, I saw the elephant!
But it has nothing to do with the California Trail.
By the way, you can still see wagon ruts of the Trail in Elko county, stand in the ruts and look into the past.
But that has nothing to do with MY elephant! More later.
John and I are heading to a touring workshop in Battle Mountain this morning. Talk more later.
