Fireline

Fire lines were used to contain a range fire near Lucky Peak Reservoir not far from Boise. Here, topography forced equipment used to cut the fire lines to cross a small stream drainage. Willows and other riparian shrubs were flattened at the approach to the crossing. This area is (was?) one of my secret spots to pick elderberries and chokecherries in the early fall.
