Those are neat pictures RanchRoper. What is the name of the mountain?

The 2nd photo of the Mtn poking out of the fog is Turtle Mtn. The others I'm not sure but all are in the Livingstone Range. The north side of Turtle Mtn is known as the Frank Slide. Google it sometime. In the early 1900's half the mountain broke off and dropped millions of tons of rock on the little town of Frank. It's still buried there along with its inhabitants. Looks like a moonscape and the Hwy now winds thru it. Slide was over in about 90 seconds. The boom was heard in Calgary which is a 3 hour drive to put it in perspective.

Your comment of the resultant "moonscape" reminds me of what I saw of the destroyed countryside around Mount St. Helens in the WA State Cascade Range....incredible damage, yet what an amazing, natural recovery today. Surely are incredible natural forces out there!

I grew up in Lewiston. You aren't the kid that stole my lunch in the third grade are you?

Early this morning. Horses off hay and out on grass for the summer. Sun was just coming up.

I really like your horses, nice photos.

I really like your horses, nice photos.

Thank you. The guy in the foreground took the early retirement package. He has arthritis in one back leg so no more work. He just hangs out with us. He was a misunderstood guy in his early life, when we bought him you had to tranquilize him for the farrier to shoe him. After awhile this horse and I got to be pretty good friends. Now he's a real sweet guy and always comes to see us in the pasture. He needed somebody to trust. He's low man in the pecking order but other than packing an aching leg around in cold weather sometimes (me too) he's doing ok.
