Coming upon an Elk unexpectedly

This morning the huge elk showed up again. He has some sort of tracking collar on him. After he left the first time we thought he was gone for the day. Later Cissie took Sylvie over to play in the stream by Erin's house at the water fall. I went farther up stream to sit at the little camp fire spot by the stream. Just as I got there I accidentally surprised the big elk as he was drinking from the stream. The elk took off running downstream toward Cissie and Sylvie. I was afraid he would run right into them. I yelled at them to let them know he was coming. Luckily the elk ran up the side of the mountain. Waiting for Cissie and Sylvie to return I spotted him again up above us.
