This picture was taken this morning at 6:30 am of the sunrise without the smoke!  The Condon fire is almost out thanks to the hard work of the men and women of the Forest Service fire team  Once again we have clear skies.  We still need everyone's help in keeping the forest free from all the fires.  Campfire only in the pits and keep them low!   Let's go camping before the season is over! We are keeping the campground open until Oct. 9th this year as long as the weather will let us. So let's go do some camping! 

This was taken in the morning a few days ago as the sun was coming up over the mountain above the Holland Falls. The smokey haze is from the fire.

 Well it's this time of the year, folks, with the dry season we have had. . . the fires are here.  The Forest Service is going to keep me posted via email on the Condon fire.  Both pictures are taken by me from the Condon Forest Service Work Center. The fire crews are doing the best that they can do with the help of the helicopters in putting this fire out. The Forest Service tells me that there are no fire restrictions at this moment.  All we have to do is keep the campfires in the fire rings and as a low fire .  So come on out and lets go camping before the season is over.

STANDING ROOM ONLY!!

Per Red's report 21 campers left on Sunday and by the end of the night 20 campsites were filled for Monday!  It has been non-stop at the campground and group site for Red who keeps hoping with chopping wood, garbage hauling,  and renting out our 3 canoes.  He reported actually seeing flames from the road where wildfires are spreading near Condon.  Also saw the helicopters fighting the fire with water supply.   Hope the rain forecasted on Wednesday will put the fire out!  Check out the fire report:  http://inciweb.org/incident/3070/ or http://www.topix.com/city/condon-mt

FIRE SEASON IS UPON US - BE CAREFUL!

 This was taken last night at about dark 8/8/2012 . It is smoke from a fire . so far that is all we are getting here at the camp ground . The fire I think is between here and highway 200 . .

This picture was taken at the same time the one above was but where is the mountain? The smoke is so bad that it is hiding the mountain. We need some rain to help put out  the fire.  Compare with the Canoe Sunset picture below. If you look real hard you can see a little of the mountain but not the whole range.   There is also a fire in the Bob Marshall.  This fire is the one near Seeley.

CANOE SUNSET ON HOLLAND LAKE

Vicky took this picture on her vacation here in June.  It is on her desktop wallpaper so she can be at the lake every morning!   This is only one of glorious western sunsets over Holland Lake.  Guiding the canoe to shore after a long day of fishing over Father's Day weekend this father and son were surprised to find the rest of their family decided to camp for the rest of the weekend!   Just a word of caution to inexperienced canoists . . a canoe can tip easily . . ALWAYS wear your life vest when renting our canoes!   Thank you.   Come and enjoy the lake thru early October when we close for the season for spectacular sunsets and beautiful scenary.
