An interesting wireless device attached to a secondary voltage powerline.  There was a transformer up the hill on a separate pole that dropped the voltage down to secondary.

A raven flying by.  There was a whole family of ravens playing on the winds going over the dam.

We went up to Courtright Reservoir to peer back into the high country.  This rock fill dam was the start and finish of so many backpacking trips that I took as a kid.

Looking down the dam face.  The water level is very low this year after a bad snowpack the last two years.
