Back in June when I picked up my Bronco Sport I said I'd post some pictures of a trip to Boulder Lake (east of Pinedale, WY). Well, here are a couple of pictures of my dusty BS BB.
My old cabover camper is just behind the BS. In the background is an end moraine from one of the many glacier advances and retreats.
As can be seen, Boulder Lake is aptly named. The place is nothing by sagebrush and rocks. Plus, the ongoing drought has dried up the countryside big time.
If you look really close at this picture, you will see a red helicopter high up on the north ridgeline (parts of which are many lateral moraines). This ridge burned several years ago and the helicopter aerial spraying is for weeds, mainly cheat grass, that will rapidly take over before natural vegetation can recover.
The spraying operation had a base camp at the BLM campground down by the lake. The helicopter could make three spray passes before having to return for more chemical. The refill procedure took around five minutes and the spraying trip about the same so a spray evolution about ten minutes. I took some videos of the spraying and here's a portion of one of those videos:
Last but not least, here's a picture of the Wind River Mountains from the end moraine above the BS in the second picture. The picture is in an easterly direction.
The BS had a fun time on the dusty, rocky and washborard roads. All in all, a good trip.
Everyone take care and enjoy your vehicles!
