A DRIVE UP BLUE JOINT OVER TO ALTA, MONTANA

OUR SUNDAY DRIVE UP BLUE JOINT

Fireweed by an old stump in a burned out area. 

 

Connie by an old pondarosa pine that lived through a fire.

It really is a large tree.  Not sure of it's height, but very tall.

Some more old pines.

View looking south towards Idaho.

And a very large dead pine still standing among ones that are not.

 

 

And you can see how thick and down these trees are.  No wonder we are having problems putting out fires when they get going.  And boy do we have some trees burning here in Montana right now!  A very bad fire season we are having. 

This is where we had to turn around as it just narrowed to tight.

This grouse was wondering what we were doing driving on her road.  We only saw this grouse and one mule deer doe all day.
