The area around Libby, Montana is beautiful. You can see some snow/glacier in the mountains surrounding Libby. The problem is there are also fires all around us. There are fires in the mountains just to the south of us and more fires 50 miles to the southwest of us. Also there are fires 50 miles to the northeast of us. The air has been so smoky that they advised everyone to stay indoors. The good news is we had a little rain and its not as smoky as it was. The rain didn't stop any of the fires so the smoke will return soon.
We've been doing some gold prospecting on Libby creek. We have found some gold so its keeping us occupied. We are tired of running from fires so we've decided to keep on gold panning and hang out here until after Labor Day or we have to evacuate which ever comes first.
