My office view

I know there are multiple pictures I've posted of this view on the forums but it is simply a beautiful morning here in northwest Montana.  Those thousands of acres you can see in the picture are only a few of the millions of acres in the Kootenai National Forest.  The mountains in the background are on the other side of Lake Koocanusa, a 97 mile long lake that extends into Canada less than 10 miles north of here.  That ridge top is a tangle of blowdown timber where the elk like to hide and try to keep the wolves at bay.  I have taken a 330" bull and a couple of 140"+ whitetails out of there.  I don't want to talk about the ones that got away, but they were memorable hunts that if I'd a done my part right would have put meat in the freezer.

The view is a little greener this time of year.  It was already starting to get a bit on the dry side and the Forest Service had the fire danger listed as high.  Fortunately, there is a cold front pushing through and we have gotten some rain.  The temperature today is not likely to get out of the 50s after weeks of mid 80s.  With any luck we will get rain every ten days or so over the next several months and not have the fires we had last summer.

Looking at the north end of Lake Koocanusa  from the ridge just south of my house, and into British Columbia.
