Well today was a long ride on the mountain bike to try to find my cameras after the fires last year.  The snow was finally gone enough to retrieve them but  I wasn't hoping for much figuring they were both gone by the fire.  My cameras were both still there and not burned.  I don't know how the fires skipped around them but they did and I was so lucky the stumps and trees all around were burned up.  But did manage a couple of good pictures before the fires.  The card was full in 4 days because the elk were all around the camera 24/7.  I was hoping for fire pictures but full card before then.  And this camera was a clearance special at walmart for $35!

Thats to bad about them being full, that would be neat to see pics during and after the fire, then throughout the winter.

Trailcam pictures from your backyard, then you drove up to some burn and took photo's to correlate the story? That's intense.
