Scenes Around Ollokot Camp....

(  Writing this from Enterprise, Oregon on August 6.  )

Last week we were in a variety of places around the Ollokot Campground, so I put together a hogpog  of pictures for our enjoyment. 

Watching the Turkey Vultures at Hell's Canyon Lookout.

Between Ollokot and Coverdale Campgrounds there are several very nice dispersed camping sites. One of the large ones was just vacated by a family reunion group of seventy people. We went down to check it out because every year they leave more painted rocks at the camp.

This is the rivers edge next to their camp. The tree bridge has a well worn top from all the kids crossing.

This is their kitchen area, all those people, and they left the whole camp totally clean.

The flowers on the Fireweed will continue to open until they reach the top of the plant. Then they say to look for snow on the mountain tops when the flowers are done blooming.

I never get tired of farm pictures, this one is on the road to Joseph and Enterprise.

Just before Joseph is a turn off for a small campground and at the top of the road a trailhead for the Hurricane Creek and trails.

Beautiful Hurricane Creek

The only thing holding the big boulder up is a few tree roots.

Rockhounding with Carla and hounds in the Imnaha River.

One of Carla's Peacocks.

On Carla's work truck is a water holding tank, a hose and a generator to pump the water. Handy for putting out a burning camp fire someone left behind. ( Also used to clean the outhouses.)

Last weekend a fire was burning north of Elgin, 60 miles away as the crow flies. The smoke came down the Imnaha River Valley. Usually the canyon lookout is clear as far as the eye can see. The smoke hung in the tree tops all through the camps for a whole day.

No this is not the forest fire, just a beautiful sunset.
