Pine Beetle = My Enemy
I’ve never faced one in battle, but the Pine Beetle and I are officially at war.
In this photo, the brown trees are the ones that have been hit by the pine beetle. Infected trees have 0% chance of survival. I went on a little drive along Beaver Creek Road in Grand County, Colorado on Saturday. And then again on Sunday. On Sunday, I took photos. The infestation of this non-native disease is unbelievable, and my worst fears were almost realized today as a forest fire only a couple of miles from where my family has a house in the mountains blazed. Happily, it was relatively small and people were not injured. The YMCA of the Rockies apparently did a nice job of thinning the trees on their land in order to keep potential fires at low risk.
There are also some other nice photos of my fishing expedition with my brother. Definitely look at the last image if you’re just going to look at a few.
