Unfortunately the weminuhe wilderness area, at least the southern part burned a few years back, my son and I went down there and I couldnt even recognize some of my favorite spots. black and dead and down everywhere.

That's unfortunate. Usually the regrowth in burn areas is a magnet for the animals in following years Especially, the areas with Aspen saplings and easy pickings.

It is, but we were there close after a very hot burn, cant remember the year.

Well, that's a hot mess.

Sheep mountain?, I got caught after dark on it , no light, experience of a lifetime trying to find a way down off the bluffs.

No bighorn sheep.

It depends on the burn. If it's a HOT fire that kills everything, sterilizes the soil and leaves several inches of fine ash covering- it is several years before vegetation gets going again and more years before it can sustain wildlife. Cooler fires where the big trees survive but the ground cover is burnt are a different story. Sunlight gets in and regrowth starts shortly after the fire.

True but elk love burns. Lots of elk down there. In a similar situation, one of our areas experienced the largest fire in Colorado history in 2020. In 35 years of operation, we had our best two years in 2023 and 2024. Looking forward to this year as well. We paid a huge price in 2020 with a complete loss of a season in that area but we are reaping the benefits now. Grass everywhere but the views, as you mention, have suffered. The fire started August 13th and didn’t go out until December. We had already packed in six of eight camps when the fire started. We got three out but two of the other three burned and the third was destroyed by heavy snow because we weren’t allowed to go pack it out before the snow came due to the proximity of large active fire. Took these pictures while packing out camps. We rode through small active parts of the fire to get camps out early in the morning before the fire activity blew up in the afternoons. A bit dicey.

There are those who have a different opinion about where Tesla is heading. On the other hand, it's from CNN and everyone who writes for them is a Commie, right?

I'd personally be looking at Wharton for an MBA, and Stanford for a JD..

When my daughter graduated from Yale, Harvard and Stanford were her top two choices for law school.
We visited both campuses. Her response was Stanford had the best lifestyle and slightly better legal education. However, she rightly pointed out that selection committees in top M&A law firms consisted of mostly Harvard graduates. She said I can have the lifestyle later and went to Harvard.

That article is from April, when Musk was still aligned tightly with Trump and all of the left wing MSM was desperately trying to poke holes in Elon..

Notice that now in July, they’re all largely silent on Tesla?

Also consider the author… he is CNN’s “bankruptcy” hit man.. about the only thing he ever reports on is failing businesses… it is his actual job to expose potential problems…

If you look at his track record… he’s wrong as often as he is right…

Considering that Musks personal net worth has more than doubled in the last year, and that Tesla is worth substantially more than it was even in April when that article was written.. I’d say he got it wrong again…

But continue to believe leftist media opinion rather than facts if you so choose…

The article you referenced is from back in April, so it's not really making the point you seek considering Tesla is up about 100 points since it's low of 223 back on April 7, 2025... I personally wouldn't bet a nickel against the future success of the wealthiest man on the planet...

But, yes you are correct in that everyone who writes for CNN is a communist, although to be fair it's about an even split between Marxists and Leninists...

 

[Altitude sickness]

That’s why it’s called speculation. if it was guaranteed you would make zero money on it.

But it’s looking more and more like 10 years from now Tesla will be a monster that you wish you invested in.

and many will wish they dumped Apple

With the media always needing a shiny new object to focus on, it seems the Trump/Musk feud is ramping back up.

I thought these guy's were BFF's......lol

I think the reason that may be true for M&A based firms is they prefer MBA+JD talent based on their mission. Harvard MBA + Harvard JD is going to have more aggragate weight than Yale JD + Yale MBA. Stanford is definitely equal prestige as Harvard for the combo, but Stanford carries its prestige in the Midwest and West Coast, Harvard carries their prestige most on the East Coast.

It's all semantics anyway, these are all top, top programs. Glad your daughter did well for herself. If I was faced with the notion of being an attorney myself and an MBA wasn't a requisite, I'd probably pick Yale law from the trio because its such a small school and the law alumni network runs thick as thieves over there.

Our daughter over here has big plans for herself and presently thinks she wants to be a surgeon. She may end up going from pre-med to patent bar instead. She's eyeing some of these very same schools for a BS before making the decision of law or medicine.

The one school we toured that was most disappointing was actually Cornell. My daughter would be a third generation legacy which would be a remarkable family tradition, but the campus was a sketchy dump in grave disrepair with all the Frats boarded up with crime scene tape thanks to woke attacks on Greek life. A sad shadow of its former self.

That’s a bummer. My father in law is a Cornell electrical engineering alumnus and my wife has mentioned thinking it would be neat if one of the kids went there.
