The third in a short series of visits to all the lookouts on South Fork Mountain, one of North America's longest ridge lines. I just walked up the trail as near as I could. Half of it was still there. https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/pickett-peak-lookout.html

Obligatory photo of my field site, which looks exactly the same as the photo I took last year 😂 #Fieldwork #nationalforest
Maroon Bells
Aspen, Colorado
Much like Half Dome in Yosemite, everyone takes a picture of Maroon Bells reflecting in the lake below. I camped there so was able to capture this morning image with no wind to break up the lake's mirror surface—add a little snow and a few fall aspen and I think I hit the jackpot.

Now, here’s the major #problem. These regions are the foundation of our public lands #system. They contain the large bulk of our #NationalForests, #NationalParks, and Wilderness. The amount of #land that appears to exist for the purpose of #development, versus the amount of land that actually exists for development, is tiny. For example, the #county that I live in is comprised of 68% public lands, mainly in the form of #NationalForest stewarded by the U.S. Forest Service. 10% of the land is comprised of #farm and #ranch land. This leaves a tiny fraction of buildable space for the influx of #migrants, to a place that already has a significant pre-existing #population.

Hidden Waterfall
Porcupine Creek, CO
Near Brown Lakes in the Rio Grande National Forest I caught a glimpse of a bright silver streak. I followed a double-track, not really even a road, to park and walk a short ways to discover this little falls on a tiny creek.

After effects of last summer’s wildfire. I was relieved to see only patches of forest gone. Abandoned equipment was melted together when the fire jumped the canyon.

The Forest Service is close to a decision on the #UpperCheatRiver Project of the #Monongahela #NationalForest to #clearcut 3,500 acres of our oldest trees on steep slopes to create "Early Successional" habitat. The cut includes oaks and sugar maples more than 200 years old.

For #FungiFriday I present this pair of colorful mushrooms. These were growing on the forest floor by the Koomer Ridge Trail in the Daniel Boone #NationalForest near Slade #Kentucky. These particular pictures were taken June 28, 2011. One is in natural light, and the other used the flash. #mushtodon
