On my scenic drive to my 'destination' I took these 2 photo's to show everyone what the very small insect the pinebark beetle is doing to our forests!! This mountain range is just across from the Brush Creek Ranger station in the Medicine Bow National Forest. If you click on the photo's and can zoom in you can see very clearly how the tree's are dying a slow and painful death due to that nasty bug. Our worst fears is that it is headed to Albany where the cabin's are nestled in among similar trees that will surely suffer the same fate!! How sad!!!
