Happy mothers day everyone!
I dont have a mother lol so i took the day to do my makeup! Then decided to go to the forest?? It was hot and it got messed up immediately, oh well 🤷♀️
This whole area of oregon was devastated by the Santiam fire in 2020, a particularly hot summer with strong winds and covid made this fire nearly impossible to contain. Its spread over 400,000 acres and burned from august to december when containment was reached.
This fire destroyed old abandoned town, inhabited town, campgrounds, powerlines and communication lines, and basically closed a large chunk of oregon for a year or more, with some places still closed and other places never being rebuilt. This fire stopped 40 miles from where i currently live! 😱
Anyway, despite all the devastation, the forest will rebuild itself! And i think its beautiful that no matter what happens in an area like this, life will sprout again and the beauty of nature will overgrow any man made junk left over. Witnessing the rebirth of this place ive grown up in is special, even tho its sad theres not as many good camping spots out here, but the forest deserves a break!
Anyways, just like the forest will rebuild itself into what its supposed to be, you can too! ❤️❤️
Im proud of you all! And to those with cool moms wish them a happy day from me! Anyone that doesnt have that in their life, im sorry, and i give you free internet hugs. I do wish it was different for some of us ❤️❤️
Ps i did take more pics than this obvi, might post them later or maybe ill finally start using my pixelfed account 😂
Oh i also got new gauges and a navel piercing! I couldnt do a tongue piercing 😭😭
Damn, 6 years? The 2006 Kyrill storm devastated Bohemian Forest and the dead trunks were never removed (only on the German side (left)), causing bark beetle to go haywire. The pic is from 2011 and the situation has since improved though.
I mean i imagine weve come a long way from 2006, but also Oregon does not mess around with its trees. One of the forest fires that was human caused they figured out who did it and pinned the entire cost of fighting the fire and the destroyed forests on the one guy, to the tune of several million, over 15million iirc.
Gauges in my ears! Sorry that wasnt clear lol, but yeah went from around 18 or 20, cant rightly remember, to 0G ❤️❤️
