We went to a Car Show recently and of course I took pics.

First pics are from Waurika as we passed through:

Seems I am babysitting today, so my 'playtime' here will be short.

Back into the car! We are headed home.

Out by Waurika Lake, there had been a wildfire recently. This area is SOOO beautiful in the spring and summer!

Even though I know it will all grow back quickly, it still makes me sad to see it all burned.

Up in Montana they decided to let the fires run thier course, but protect property and life at the same time. They found that when they let the fires go, Mother earth renews life and beauty on her own and better that before. Sometimes man needs to step aside and let nature do her job, "she's better at it anyway".

Thanks so much for the pics and trouble you took to post them all LadyRobyn. It's like I went to the car show with you. I like seeing what different areas look like. It's hard to capture the beauty of the big land.

That was some show. Those cars are fixed up!

And, everyone, don't forget to support your local FD.

I think all the "You Are There" photos that Peggy and LR take
from the car are fantastic...

They give you a REAL feel for the place.
(And I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates them.)

I have a lot of cool photos like that too from up here....
Too bad I don't like the NH forum as much as I like the OK forum.

I bet it would help sell this place...
I better work on my self discipline huh?
