Thanks mate

Camping with family, sadly in todays world not enough of it done. Look like you had a great time, how do you go with the slingshot.

Here are pictures post fire of Denio Summit a couple miles from Nevada/ South Eastern Oregon border. We have a site at about 5000 to 5500 feet. This standing at our small site building on the West side of summit. Pretty eerie drive to site. All sagebrush complete ash, no stems. Just burnt rocks. Like driving on the moon. Just never driven through that. Fire destroys but rejuvenates well. Burnt within 10 feet of our site building. Pictures don't really describe seeing with ownbeyes. Could have been way worse. Small unburnt patches in middle of many acres of burnt.

Behind on this thread. Looks like a great time Paul. Good on you spending time with your daughter in nature. Those memories are never forgotten.

Regards, Jerry

That is a great camping post, Paul. Looks like a lot of fun. I was trying to decide what you were reading: the open pages reminded me of Churchill's Malakand Field Force book.

Beautiful country, Jerry, even burnt.

Awesome pictures, Paul and Jerry!


Does the beach count as "outdoors?" From Virginia Beach about 2 weeks ago, out End of Summer vacation. Not sure if I would like para-sailing, but the Michelob banner was enticing.

Yes it does John. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great time. As a younger man, seawater was in my blood I was in the ocean so much for water sports. Live far inland from it now so the desert it is...

Regards, Jerry

Good day with grandson seeing there was no hockey we hit the woods and fields and he got to drive the tote roads for the first time at age 14 when his Mom finds out I’m dead so whatwe had Hawks hunting that drove the ravens crazy and keep the birds from the fields.

Great pictures, gdogg!
A skidder, a pile of logs, deer stand, good truck and a grandson, I'd say you had a wonderful day!

Had a pile of pictures last week, over 2100 pictures, actually over 700 3 shot groups. Click on the pics to enlarge. Archery stars on Oct 22. I don't do the stick and string so I wait for Thanksgiving Day, .243 time. Probably won't see any good ones until January and February when they are cruising for does. Once in a while a good one will show up on opening day.

gdogg, according to the rule book, as long as a "feeding station" has been maintained for at least 6 months it is legal to hunt non-migratory game on private property. We've been keeping corn feeders and planted food plots at our farm going year-round for over 20 years.
https://www.eregulations.com/assets/doc ... LHD_LR.pdf, the rule book for all the ins and out of Florida hunting.

Here's a big, bodied joker that I hope stays around for a ballistic test later on this year: Treefarmer

That would be a keeper TF you are getting quite a variety at that feeder.

Mommas with their babies, click on 'em and see the spots!: Treefarmer

Great game cam pics TF. Love the woods. I have desert of course. Both beautiful in their own. In the brown season now. But the mountain fall isolated aspens are beautiful. Nevada version of fall color...

First pic was stunned to my eye. Maybe enlarge...

Jerry, the scenery is awesome, in fact, it's mind boggling to a flat woods dweller like me! I can just imagine easing along those roads in an old open top jeep. I suppose y'all have to have good brakes on your woods runners out there. Lots of the old woods trucks, buggies and carts in the flat woods don't have a sign of a brake.
Commenting on your earlier post with pictures showing where the fire had gone across the land, will it be spring before this starts to green up? A picture would be interesting when it starts to come back. Controlled burns are so beneficial as are wildfires but usually without the damage to structures, etc.
The picture of the Aspens is great, the yellow is so bright. Our Florida colors are so subtle, they are hardly noticed by most folks. Maybe it we had the hills/mountains to elevate us we might see some more color looking down than from ground level looking up.
We are still in the green season but getting close to a frost and then our color will join your brown season. When it does turn brown these critters won't be as easy to see: Treefarmer

Hey TF.

Good brakes and the best 10 ply tires you can buy. Lots of pointy rocks to blow your tire out.
Not sure how long to green up. If it does, only weeds. All those acres were cheatgrass/ foxtail and sage brush. Sage brush grows very slow.
BLM contains fires, they don't fight them. Anything inside the fire lines is vulnerable as they don't fight that. Those sagebrush did not even have stems. Just an ash pile.

The pis I just posted where lush and full of wildflowers just 2 months ago. I was slightly taken back by the brown in that short time.

Thanks for posting those pics. That is some beautiful country there my friend.

Thanks cudgee! Glad to share and glad you enjoyed.

That is the Santa Rosa Mountain Range in Humboldt County, NV.
That range is long. Maybe 30 miles long. You crest Hinkey Summit at 7800 feet, descend slightly and then drive across the range through a valley (best way I can describe it. Mountains with valley on top of a mountain. A double decker.) to Buckskin Mountain at peak of 8700 feet. Really a beautiful place. Feels more sparse woods than desert.

Lye Creek Campground in that range is covered in Aspens with a small creek running through. One of several micro-climates here in the desert.

Some additional pics on link if anyone interested.
