This picture was taken a couple of miles from Absarokee. It was still quite smokey, but the fires for the most part, were out.
This was taken on the lower Stillwater River Road.

For those of you familiar with the Stillwater River Road, the pictures above and below were taken near where the pavement ends and the gravel begins.

A lot of homes were lost in this subdivision.
The bridge to nowhere
This propane tank was one of dozens that exploded during the fire. The house it serviced burned to the ground.
The fire burned over 1/3 of Stillwater County.
What a tragedy. Most of this could have been prevented if they had been able fight the fire in the beginning. Unfortunately, all of the available resources were being used to fight the Emerald Hills fire in Billings.
