So.....what yore sayin is....

all that snow turned to purdy blue water?

**shane96ranger** · 05-29-2012, 04:57 PM

Yep, some of that goes in there. It's really a beautiful lake....... until you get out of the car. Then you want to get right back in the car because it stinks so bad.

These are a couple of pictures I took today of Storm Mountain, which is in Little Cottonwood canyon. You can still see some smoke is in the air (several fires this summer) in one or two of these. It's quite a beautiful little area. These were taken with my Droid X. It's a decent camera for a phone, but nothing like the pics Bob Ayers takes.

This one is blurry. I had a fingerprint on the lens. I didn't notice until we left. =(

Nice shots! Makes me want to grab my gun and backpack then disappear into the wilderness......but you guys ain't that lucky!

There are some wondrous sights in this great land of ours. I've never seen a view of the Rockies that was bad....and to us Motorheads the Great Salt Lake is Meca.....

..the rest of Utah is nothing less than beautiful!

Thanks Tominator. I agree, it's a beautiful state. There is still so much I haven't seen. I'll be getting around more in the coming years.

Just to give an idea of just how smoky it is around here, I took a pic this morning. The top was taken back in December. The bottom was today, taken from the same area. You can barely see the Rockies from the Oquirrh Mountains.

This one is looking up into the Oquirrh's. There is a fire on the other side of this mountain that was caused by lightning. Lucky for us, the forecast has thunderstorms in it for the next two days.

is that snow on the ground in the first pic? or salt? lol

last year, NC had a few first in the swamps near the coast. i remember one day the winds shifted and it blew the smoke inland instead out to the ocean. raleigh is very hilly and in all the low areas the smoke had settled, looked like something was on fire here. never seen anything like it.

Now there's an idea. Put the salt down first. Lol. There is some marsh/swamp land very near me that gets that foggy haze over it. I don't really understand what causes it, because it does it in all seasons - but on random days. It does it more around October, but I just drove through it less than a month ago.

I went to the races last night at Rocky Mountain Raceways, which is about 5 minutes from my home. This is a race that was just getting under way, and there was a wreck before they even got past the starting line. The white one was actually airborne for a moment. These are sprint cars, they are pretty quick.

The track is 3/8 or 5/8 of a mile, I can't remember which.

Man...... 0 to 100 back to 0 in 4 seconds!

This is my Grandpa's store. It was a Rexall pharmacy (he was the Pharmacist) with a soda fountain, etc. It was my first job at 14 years of age. It is actually the backdrop for a TV show right now called Granite Flats. I don't know much else other than all of the people were wearing 50's clothes, and the streets have 50's cars all over the place.
