This was what we’d hoped to find (2/11)

We were after huckleberries. Surprisingly enough, the huckleberry bushes survived and are coming back. However, without the dense forest, they are getting the full brunt of the summer sun. For the last three weeks, our temperatures have been between 88 and 103 F (31-39.5 C). There were plenty of berries, but they were dried from the heat.
