Riverside State Park

[AlanLichty]

On occasions when I was traveling east on I-90 through the Spokane area with my RV I used to spend the night in a neat little campground right along the Spokane River called Riverside State Park. Sadly one of the wildfires called the Old Trails Fire ripped through that part of Spokane this last weekend and scorched the campground part park along with what is estimated to be at least 600 homes just above the park. From what I had seen that was a beautiful part of Spokane with some really nice homes overlooking the river. The park is likely to recover more quickly than the surrounding neighborhoods that were burned to the ground.

This is a focus stack of a cluster of Arrow Leaf Balsamroot blooms I took in Riverside State Park in the spring of 2019.

C&C always welcome.

Sad to hear this got burned down, but it's great that you did get some images from it before. This one is really nice.

Thanks Jim - the saddest twist is that this fire appears to have been the result of arson. There are two more fires right in and around the Spokane area although the origins of those have not yet been determined.
