It was my fathers 39th bday, Colfax is next to the family farm, and we were visiting grandparents and the family told him to 'disappear' for a while...... most of the trees had lost most of their leaves, so the view was unobstructed, people burning household trash the smoke rose to the clouds, Dad was busy keeping my 2 younger brother 'in line' I was enjoying the binoculars, I could see people in there boats on a nearby lake
