Wow Peter, to be living the life you have desired for many years must be really thrilling. Having been a young forester in the Idaho mountains was a life changing experience, but I am thinking I should have looked more closly at the southern Utah desert/diversification which, as a forester, I poo-pooed. Now, in retrospect, it really is much more interesting than the pure forest scenario, not as cool temp wise, but really interesting nonetheless. Love your pics.
