Top photo is one taken last Saturday afternoon of "Clifty Peak" South of town. The tallest mountain of the area.
Taken as we were driving back from the North Bench area of town.
Middle photo was taken on my way home from work Wednesday afternoon. This is called "Black Mountain", I'm guessing from the area Indian's decades ago as in summer it does get very dark green. We've been to the top on several quad rides. At the top are the 'translators' for off air TV service. It used to be just 3 mostly fuzzy channels, now with the digital change it's up to 12 generally clear channels. I actually even watch some local channels at times. I like the added PBS channels World and Create. At the top are also microwave repeaters for various governmental agencies, the area ham radio antenna in addition to antennas for who knows what. Also an old fire lookout tower.
Last photo was taken last evening on my way home and is of the areas Golf course, Mirror lake. It is getting all ready for the golf season. Actually back in the days before the Libby Dam was built in Montana, all the flat land in this photo was actually a lake. Mirror Lake. Back then much of the low lands flooded every year and this was a shallow large flat lake much of the year. Now it's all farms out in the distance with most of the flood plane farmland still owned by the same families.
Stacy will be back from her two day training in Coeur d' Alene tonight. Tomorrow is her birthday and liked I'd said the last post, she's has a great week.
Till next time, Tad.
