Smoky sunrise off U.S. Route 87

Almost two months ago, I departed Havre, Montana one Sunday morning with Spokane, Washington being my destination for the day. The road from Havre to Great Falls was one of the most deserted I’ve ever been on. I pulled over near Fort Benton for a quick break when today’s photo was taken. The view behind me was of a horseshoe bend in the Missouri River called the “Missouri River Overlook” which I’ll have to post a photo of one of these days. Anyway, Lewis & Clark hung out here 217 years prior.

2019 Brutal Assault crowd when Jungle Rot hit the stage

#brutalAssault2019 #brutalassault @JungleRotBand

11:40 a.m. for today’s photo. This wasn’t the first band I saw on this day (not even counting the bands from the night before that went into the morning), and the last band, for me, wasn’t going on until more than 12 hours later. Sounds like a long day, but this was only day two of four. I had finished the morning with Hypocrisy at about 2 a.m.

Discounted tickets (until December) for 2023 Brutal Assault are on sale now.

Goat Rocks Fire from Stevens Canyon Road (September 16, 2022)

As mentioned previously, the Goat Rocks Fire nearly ruined our long-planned trip to Mount Rainier. The fire began a few days before we arrived, and the poor air quality peaked on the day of our arrival. Luckily, it got much better each day we were there. By the time I took today’s photo, five days later, the smoke was only visible when directly looking at the affected area.
