On a recent drive above the cabin towards Lake Owen I took these photos which show the devastation of the beetle kill in the mountains which is our backyard!! The caboose is at Lake Owen on the old railroad that we called "The Coalmont Local" branch which originated at Laramie and ended at Coalmont which is south of Walden Colorado. A distance of 98 miles!!

Notice the haze in the photo overlooking Albany below and the Centennial Valley in the distance from the fires in California..
