Let's see your Tacos in scenic places!

Knew it looked familiar.

 

Can't believe how green it is this spring. This is from today on a favorite drive in the Hills, about 30 minutes away. There was snow visible 3 weekends ago. Saw some elk a little later.

Big bear

 

nice! one of my favorite places, so many family memories there...

 

Went out into the some back country to pull my buddy's sequoia out of a ford site. Thought this would make a good photo op

 

Are you guys still having issues with the mountain pine beetles? We were up there a couple of years ago and it was truly sad to see all the dead trees. It had been about 15 years since I had been there and looked completely different.

 

I was in The Blacks Hills 2 weeks ago and the tree are just dying very sad

 

Hi There If you were asking me my pics are from Custer State Park 2 weeks ago great weather low fire danger

 

That is sad. We were there 2 years ago and started into the hills and my wife asked if they had a forest fire. I told her not that I've heard of. They had a pretty bad one years back but it had since come back. But just large swatches of dead trees everywhere. Entire mountainsides just dead (also bad for forest fires). We ended up at Mount Rushmore and there was a large display about the beetles and the only way to get ride of them was to basically cut a "fire line" to keep them from the healthy trees. Truly a bad situation.

 

we saw the same thing too tops of mountains with dead trees piles of dead trees. We were told once a tree is brown like that the beetles move on to the next healthy tree. Who knows what it will look like in the next 5 years.

 

Day trip to Corolla, NC

 

Yeah it is really sad. I doubt I'll ever make another trip up that way. I've been twice. My daughter was 7 at the time and huge into history and how things work. We go to Colorado every year but 2 years ago we made a large loop though SD, WY, and CO. We took her to Mount Rushmore (which I personally think is blight on the Native American land) but wanted her to see it and understand the impact of what happened in those hills. After that we took her to Wounded Knee. You learn from history so you don't repeat it (hopefully).

SD has some beautiful land. I love the rolling hills and the Bad Lands are simply beautiful to me.

​

 

yeah SD does have beautiful land I really love the Needles Hwy... But there is nothing like my own backyard in my opinion Colorado is great

 

7 more years and I'll be living there. I love Colorado. I can retire when I'm 50 and we'll be on the first thing smoking going that way.

 

That sounds like a great plan
