Hinton, Day 3

July 25, 1029 4:18 p.m.

Well, we are still here.  The part did not come in.  Don has been gone for an hour and half . . . is he visiting the Cannabis store next to Starbucks?  Ha, ha!  Seriously, it took him that long to track down where the part might be - and we hope it comes in tomorrow!

This morning we took a drive to the hamlet of Brule.  It is a small bedroom community about 30 minutes from Hinton.  With very few cars on the road, we were able to leisurely drive, looking for critters, of which we saw just one deer.  But the vista at the Solomon Lookout gave us an opportunity to observe the lowering of the tree line as we head north and the rockiness of the mountain.





At one point, a large fire swept through the area, and when the trees grew back, they formed the shape of a black cat, hence the Black Cat Fire.  I didn’t think it would show up in my picture, but it did . . . and I have included a picture of the information plaque to help identify the cat.
