HOAR FROST MONDAY JANUARY 19, 2026 UP THE CAMP MCKINNEY ROAD. PART 1 OF 3

Last Saturday I played with hoar frost on the west side of the valley which was my last posting.  Yesterday I went up the east side which is predominately Ponderosa Pine and lots of recent forest fires while the west was more Douglas Fir zone. 

I wasn't far out of Oliver when I came upon some indigenous horses.  This one was pretty scruffy.

Then a few miles up the road another band was blocking the road.
