Where Have you Driven Your 40-Series This Week? (24 Viewers)

Fire damage takes a while to resolve the forest. Were the trout streams silted up or have they had time to clean out the silt? I flew a Bell 212 on the Yellowstone fires fighting the fires that really damaged the forest and later flew the fertilization and reseeding attempts resolve the some of the damage. A lot of trout streams took several years to come back. Beautiful photos!

Spring runoff generally cleans the rivers out each season, some of the larger fires do dump a significant amount of ash and sediment into the streams. As we all know, nature has a strange way of working itself out.

I know it’s been said before, but these things really do like being driven.
I’ve taken it out more this past month than I think all of last summer.
The carb is mostly cooperating-it’s only died a few times but hasn’t had the high idle thing yet, that I can recall.
My right turn signal indicator in the dash started working after 5 years.
It’s hot starting pretty regularly without fighting me.

Today I swung by the church to look at a dimmer that needs replaced, then went to Home Depot for said dimmer and some blinds, stopped at a friend’s, and finally home. Probably only 40 miles but it’s getting less stressful each trip.
