You don’t care for alpine plants? I thought you’d love those little guys. They’re such specialized little buggers living in an extreme environment of wild temperature swings and intense sunlight, and so many of them live in crap soil, right up your alley. They’re also usually where people aren’t, which is a bonus. And that tiny, low growing willow? How about that?

It's a favorite of mine. Looks like you timed that pretty well. To be in a high mountain field full of bangers pretty much all going off . Excellent work my friend. I live in Montana I'm going to find one of these mountain tops (that isn't on fire right now) and have a look. Thanks Joey, I think it's my favorite episode.

I saw this Huge red fuzzy bee the other day, the size of a locust... I think their nest was nearby. I've seen the nest for years now, but never thought thats what it was. I always thought it was a fungal infection... its a huge bulge in a still living tree. Either they hollowed it out and the tree grows around the nest, or they put tree bark over the nest so it is camouflaged. It almost looks like a wasp/bee hybrid. It's shaped like a Japanese wasp, but fuzzy like a bumblebee. I've seen some wingless bees or wasps before that are fuzzy and red like it was, but this thing was different. My dad saw it also... And there's a shit ton of Jimson weed there also, I'm gonna collect a seed pod in a few months and grow it over winter inside
