Now you have me confused. Aren't the Boise mountains in Idaho? As for the Kiamichi, Highway 71 comes down from Springdale, Arkansas to Mena, Arkansas. The Talimena Drive between Mena and Talihina does appear to go through the Kiamichi. When we took that drive in 2008, it was down Hwy 71 and across the Talimena Drive.
Approximately 1,000 years ago there was a severe drought in the areas of Haskell Latimer and Pittsburg counties, so severe apparently it killed most of the trees. Early French explorers named the mountains “Sans Bois” meaning “no wood.” They also encountered a bird native to the mountains south of the Sans Bois whom they named the “Kiamichi” bird. They named the mountains after the bird, hence The Kiamichi Mountains. Kiamichi translates “Horned Screamer.” Apparently the Frenchmen found the Horned Screamer somewhat annoying because they killed the bird to extinction. So next time You're driving down this route, think of the horned screamer and no trees. Oh yeah, blame the French.
Redwood forests are fascinating places. They seem to create their own environment. There are ferns and other growths in abundance there that seem to be missing everywhere else. We were even told that the fogs of the coastal areas are helpful as the Redwoods absorb the fog as moisture.

Bent's Old Fort near La Junta, CO. It was actually a trading post, but such walls were needed for protection. Cool place to see old artifacts. In spite of being old and in agriculture, there were a few things that I had to ask about as to their uses.
Good morning gang.
Happy Monday!

Idaho has Malad Gorge State Park, which is a part of Thousand Springs State Park. If you are driving on I-84 between Twin Falls and Boise, you drive right over this waterfall and never even know it is there. You can see the gorge if you don't blink.
Hydrant at the garden leaking, I can't get it apart to put a kit in it. The digging begins.....
