A high-country storm and the morning after ..

[DemoTex]

One of several storms to hit my area of responsibility in the high-country wilderness of the Salmon Mountains of Idaho, late in the afternoon of July 24, 2020. This storm sat on top of Loening and Cabin Creek Peaks for quite some time, and over the headwaters of the Loon Creek drainage, about 10-15 miles south of my 10,000 foot perch on Pinyon Peak. Quite a lot of lightning ground strikes too, but ..




On the morning after the storms, fog spills over from the Feltham Creek/Beaver Creek drainage into the Trail Creek/Loon Creek side, while the Stanley Valley holds the low clouds and fog between me (on Pinyon Peak) and the Sawtooth Range. This was week two of fire season in the high country, and not a single fire start with all that lightning! The asbestos forest.
