There is a lot of crap in the desert.

My view, prior to living within its embrace for a month, was barren rockiness with just enough scrub to make setting up a tent of any decent size impossible. I never realized how slowly crap breaks down when exposed to nothing but sun and wind. In fact, there is so much crap out there that, from the beginning, I found myself nicknaming our campsites after the most common or unique type of leftovers in the area. For example, there was the Pika Poop site covered with their almost cute little fecal footballs and the characteristic white staining on the rocks. There was the Wild Horse Pucky Site (complete with a herd of wild horses across the basin for ambiance) and the Tortoise Turd Site and even the Mouse Musk Site.

And how could we possible forget the Elk Effluvience Site? Elk are prolific crappers. I think they are responsible for the BM in BLM. We found Elk crap everywhere in the northern 2/3 of the state, but ironically, we never saw one single elk. We found hundreds of elk hoof prints freshly made in the fragile, tenuous dust of the desert floor. At the first campsite of the Ramble, we saw that the elk had walked up to the Land Rover in the middle of the night and circled it. Whether they were merely curious or envious of the Roverss rack we will never know. The tracks were there in the morning, but we never saw the elk themselves. We head them bellowing in the predawn hours, raising their shaggy throats to the sky and marking their territory with their auditory musk, but we never made visual contact. Twenty-four days wandering the back roads of the deserts and mountains and basins and we never once saw a single elk.

It was somewhere around Ely, at the Mormon Cricket Crap site (or more scientifically, at the Shield-back Katydid Krap Site) that I received the vision. I knew - instantly and completely - why we had failed to see any elk.

Ponder this. Nevada has one of the largest wildlife refuges in the country, taking up a significant part of the state. This preserve includes and overlaps on lands from the Nevada Test Site where all the atomic testing was carried out in the 50s and 60s. Now, if radiation can create mutant monsters in Tokyo and giant grasshoppers in New York City, then why couldnt it mutate a few simple genes in the common elk to allow them to become invisible?

The answer was so obvious.

Nevada had inadvertently created Stealth Elk.

The hoof prints would still show up. of course, just like Claude Reins in the original version of the Invisible Man. Anything leaving the body becomes visible as well. Vince Vintresca (The Invisible Man series - SciFi Channel) left a tell-tail trail of blood after being bitten by a dog, so naturally, elk crap would also show up once it left the invisible elks invisible intestines. Sound is never affected by invisibility. Of course we would still here them bellow.

Stealth Elk - Nevadas best kept secret. Ernie agreed that this was the best explanation to our lack of elk sightings. It all made sense now. I began to keep a log, recording each time I didnt see an elk. Ernie tried her best to keep track of her un-sightings as well. We would never have guessed the extent of the population. Based on the huge numbers of elk we didnt see, (that correlated with the huge number of piles that we did see), I calculated that the stealth elk must be reproducing at an alarming rate. Granted, they are better protected from predators, being invisible and all, but how could this fragile desert ecosystem support such population growth?

Near the Wild Horse Pucky site we found our answer. Large water tanks were set up here and there - out here in the middle of nowhere, but we never saw any animals using them. That in itself suggested high numbers of elk. Someone was helping them survive. It smacked of a government conspiracy. Area 51 also abuts the test site. Those wily G-men must have discovered the Stealth Elk early on. Perhaps the genetic change was slow, making them first merely hard to see, and gradually increasing their clarity. Perhaps a scientist working the early morning shift at the facility hit one on the highway. Who knows how they first became aware of their invisible neighbors, but they certainly knew about it now. The question we had to uncover next turned out to be more slippery. What were the governments nefarious plans for these poor Stealth Elk?
