Rio Grande and Ute Mountain
Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, NMSomething different this time for #SaturdayScenery This is a "still" from a full 360º aerial panorama that can be viewed here: https://kuula.co/post/5Jvxm
You have to view the pano to actually see Ute Mountain and look along the gorge. If I get positive feedback I will do this again on Saturdays. If not... oh, well.

At least some of the aircraft were DIVERTED from efforts to contain #wildfires elsewhere in the state‼️‼️, according to 2 agency officials & the Post analysis of the flight paths.
Communications reviewed by The Washington Post sent during the response to the blaze corroborate that Boren personally directed #USFS staff to address the Cabin Creek Fire.

In total, about 9 aircraft, including helicopters, air tankers & tactical planes, responded to the fire ‼️ on July 12, acc/to an analysis of flight paths, part of an effort that lasted a few hours & cost nearly $115,000 in federal money [ #TaxpayersMoney ] ‼️. The analysis found that these assets traveled from across the West to Idaho’s Alturas Lake, near where the Cabin Creek Fire was burning.

In those calls, according to the #USFS official with knowledge of the situation, Boren pushed for more aircraft to fight the fire even though “it was easily accessible by ground,” the official said.
He “was on the phone calling people that day asking why there weren’t more resources on the fire & when there was going to be more,” the official said.#law #AbuseOfPower #billionaires #Trump #RichWhiteMalePrivilege #NationalForest #PublicLands #wildfires #ClimateChange

Two other agency officials said he called those offices, including at least once in the middle of the night. [must be nice to have government resources at your personal disposal for your private property]
Six current & former #USFS officials said the response was far greater than what is typical for a fire of that scale that did not pose a significant threat to life or property.

Boren, a #tech #billionaire & #Trump appointee, oversees about 200 million acres of #NationalForest & #PublicLands. He also owns thousands of acres in #Idaho, including the 480-acre Hell Roaring Ranch situated within the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. And before his current role, Boren had clashed with the #USFS numerous times over the years.

Of course he did.

The Trump administration lifted hunting and fishing restrictions across 55 national park sites, no hearings, no notice, decades of conservation work undone in a memo. Meanwhile the Park Service has lost a quarter of its permanent staff, so there’s nobody left to clean up after. Congress even quietly dropped the requirement that national parks stay federal land.#nationalparks #publiclands #conservation #environment #news

“Britain's map has changed a lot over the years - and so has the way it's made.
Meet Brian and Will, OS Surveyors from different generations, sharing how surveying has evolved and what it means to help map Great Britain. Here's part one of their story.
From long days in the field with paper maps and handwritten notes to modern GPS and digital technology, surveying has come a long way. But one thing hasn't changed: the people behind the map…”
--
“Will's grandfather Brian helped map Britain. Today, Will does the same job with very different technology.
Together, they reflect on their careers as Ordnance Survey surveyors, sharing stories from different eras of surveying.
From paper field books to GPS and digital mapping, discover how surveying has evolved, how maps are made, and the technology behind the data millions rely on every day.
Whether you're interested in mapping, surveying, geography, cartography, or the history of Ordnance Survey, this is a fascinating insight into the people and processes that help put Britain on the map…”
