Title: Recovered two cameras that some how didn't burn up in the fires last year!
Post by: hunterrcc on June 09, 2013, 01:50:57 AM: 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!
