So, many of you know that I love exploring new roads, wilderness areas, mountains, etc. On Tuesday, Dad took me to not one, but TWO new places! He had some business out in Elk City and up on Pilot Knob Lookout. :) Super adventure! (+ it was with my Dad!) We had a grand time on the long drive to Elk City along the South Fork of the Clearwater River, checked in at the Forest Service station to make sure our planned travels weren't going to run into wildfires, then took off the back way to Pilot Knob along the Old Elk City Wagon Road. It was the most horrible road I've ever been on, but quite the adventure! I stopped several times along the way to collect specimens of plants I didn't recognize, to identify later.
Pilot Knob
tops out at just above 7,000 ft. It was spectacular and the view would
have been quite something had it not been for the smoke. Still, the fall
colors and majestic height of the entire area made for a wonderful
photo op. I went crazy with my camera and I tried to pare down how many I posted but
there are so many I want to share! I hope you enjoy these images of
God's creation and that they fuel your excitement for the little things
in life that make it so rich and full!
~Beautiful Adventure~
Cute little chipmunk that was right at my feet!
This was neat, from when they actually surveyed and didn't use GPS. ^
