Hot Hot Hot

The heat is on! No matter where you try to hide you are not going to get away from the heat for too long. Work has been a little tough, especially with pants on, when temperatures are 90-95 F and a warm wind blows. The map a few days back shows that The United States is definatly feeling the heat!

Not to mention the numberous wildfires burning across the western parts of the country. Montana has several fires burning in the eastern portions and there is a new fire burning near the Garnet ghost town that Laura and I visited awhile back. A small town in Nebraska called Valentine had a dozen homes burn down when a fire reached the northern portion of the town. Here is a photo of the fire in Valentine that started the day after Laura and her mom passed through on their way back to Cheyenne.

My parents, along with my brother and sister will be arriving later this evening and will be staying through the weekend. We are excited to have some guests to keep us company before we travel to Yellowstone next weekend to begin our backcountry hike!

Until again
