I missed this pic. A nice one too, showing how tough it is to fight a fire in such weather.
Thanks!

Life can be so unfair. These guys catch record-breaking moonfishes, while I catch rock bass more often than not!

Here are a couple of more videos I took while we traveled that may be of interest on the last day of our travel:
The first is just west of Ft. Bridger, Wyoming on I-80. This is about 25 miles east of Evanston, WY, just before going over a geological formation called, "The Three Sisters," which are three very deep depressions/high swells that the Interstate Highway crosses. To the south are the Uintah Mountains, and to the west are the Wasatch mountains, which cause a lot of winds to constantly flow through here. Elevation is about 6,500 feet here. For years we have watched them building this large Wind Turbine Farm. it has gotten quite large now, with a total of maybe 200 large turbines. There is another we passewd, 300 miles earlier, on the pother side of the Continental Divide near Laramie, WY, but a large part of this one is right next to the highways.

The second, os a very interesting geological formation down below Echo Canyon in Utah, now on I-84, after it split off from I-80 to go to Ogden, UT and then on to Boise, ID. This formation was noticed by early pioneers (and I am sure by natives for a long long time) and it an upflift of strata. Two long formations, that are normally horizontal, were at some time lifted up vertically across the stream in parallell lines, maybe 1-15 feet apart. Lifting up over a good section of the hillside, and up into the air 30-50 feet. it's called, "Devil's Slide."
