Yeah. There are several yak ranches in the CO Rockies. An
alternative lifestyle, I suppose. Like llama ranching. I've only
seen one musk ox, on a cattle ranch at about 9K ft. Prolly jes a goof
acquisition by the rancher.

That's another thing I HAVEN'T seen. A beaver. The Arkansas R is
already a whitewater rafting river a mere 20 mi from the source, so
way too big fer beavers, here at 40 mi from source. I'm sure there
are beavers in some in the slower feeder streams, where they pass
through huge aspen groves, about 5-10 mi west of here.
