Went for a drive yesterday...
« on: Aug 19, 2012, 07:41:14 AM »
Decided I needed to go for a drive yesterday.  So, I headed up the Kilchis River with my BIL.  We stopped by his job site, and he showed me his machine he runs now on the landing.  He's a stroker delimber operator for a local logging company.  And we headed over to our favorite spot, via some FireBreak roads/trails.  We sat there watching the fog roll in and around the valleys, and ridges.  Killed a sixer for the old man, as his ashes are on this peak.  And here is the view we saw. 



Granted its no 10,000 feet elevation like the Sierras, we are sitting around the 2,800 feet elevation.  We are looking due south from this picture.

Man, that's excellent. Nice country.

If I drove to the highest peak where I live and took a picture all you would see is sand...

Very nice!  That looks like it could be a view from any one of many roads/landings by where stocker lives, too.

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

Nice shot.  I like how the clouds look like they are being poured out.

5 minutes earlier/later the fog wasn't there at all.   :yesnod:
