Lodge pole pines like the ones in yellowstone need fire to pop the seeds out of the cones so they can grow. The Forest Service considers lodge pole pines weeds. They grow so thick they smother everything else trying to grow around them.

The fire is getting closer. The Forest Service told us today to be prepared to evacuate.
I'll say a prayer for you folks that you won't have to evacuate and that nothing gets harmed. Going for a ride tomorrow. I'll check in to see how you made out. Fire is a scary thing.

Transformer, this transforms a beautiful place into an ugly pile of junk courtesy of the US Forest Service.

Thanks again Hawkeye, nice to see you again.

From others who have bought camera mounts I have been told that they get feed-back through a solid mount and the videos come out blurry.

I'm shocked mine turn out as well as they do for an old camera bungee-corded to my bag. LOL
