Nice pic! There's a town down there? Must be a deep valley. We don't have any big hills and valleys where I live. A few bluffs.

I think it's fascinating to see what the countryside looks like where other people live. I've only been out of Wisconsin twice in my life (I'm 6th generation, my ancestors moved here many years before it became a state).
Here is a picture I took from the top of one of our bluffs. As you can see, nothing but flat with the occasional little bluff (one of our towns is named Big Flats, another is Grand Marsh, Dell Prairie, Strongs Prairie, etc.). Wisconsin does have some hillier areas, but nothing like what you have:

Super view quads, looks great. If I may ask what type of woods do you burn?

Solar great picture it looks like there is a fire on the ridge, have you burned the christmas tree yet?
We're at ~3600 ft in the central Oregon high desert. The reason it's a "desert" is the Cascade Range just to the west of us. One of the most extreme rain shadows in the world. Just beyond those mountains to the west lies the Willamette Valley, parts of which can see upwards of 80" of precipitation/yr. Over here on the east side of the range, we average around 12"/yr. Here are a couple views to the west from our digs. (the hay field & barns belong to my neighbor down the bluff, not me). Rick

Thats beautiful Fossil. I'd love to end up out that way but I dont think my wife will ever let it happen... :-S
Great pictures! You guys all have some stunning views. Where I live is called the central sands, an ancient lake bed. The last glaciers didn't quite cover this spot and when they melted, formed a lake for awhile with a sandy bottom.
I burn oak almost exclusively (mostly black and maybe 15% white), an occasional choke cherry, I burned a maple once and didn't like it but don't know what kind of maple it was, and I have my very first ash (green ash I think) seasoning somewhere in one of the stacks. Choke cherry is my favorite firewood.

Fossil,
Great pics.
Was there 25 yrs ago and skied Mt. Hood and Mt. Bachelor. What was more amazing than the skiing was the dramatic difference in weather as we climbed up the ridge from the ocean to travel to Mt. Bachelor. We went from 45ish and drizzle near the ocean to full onset blizzard at the mountain and then when we headed further east, maybe 10 miles, not a flake of snow or drop of rain. I was amazed that the landscape was desertish only 10 mines east of the Cascades.
