Take a step back in time to yesteryear at Garnet Ghost Town outside of Missoula, Montana
Those who visit Garnet can wander down what used to be the bustling main street of the now-abandoned mountain mining town and peer into the windows of the remaining faded wooden structures while trying to imagine what it must have been like over a century ago.
Garnet popped up in 1895 and at its peak was home to 1,000 people. During its heyday, the little town had hotels, stores and saloons, as well as a school, laundry facility, drugstore, assay office and a weekly newspaper. While the gold lasted, the town boomed, but by 1912, most of the large gold strikes were depleted and a fire destroyed much of the business district.
The small town experienced a small second boom during the Great Depression when out-of-work miners returned to Garnet to work over the old mines and find free housing in abandoned buildings. However, this boom ended quickly when most of those who returned to Garnet left for better jobs in the defense industry with the advent of World War II.
Today, the BLM has stabilized and preserved the remaining two dozen buildings, and over 16,000 people visit the area to take a glimpse into part of Montana’s amazing mining past. Many historical artifacts remain within a few of the buildings. Each room in the Wells Hotel is still furnished with original bedsprings and furniture. The store still contains original food containers and tools found within the abandoned town.
BLM ranger volunteers are on hand to give history and further information about Garnet to visitors. These volunteers stay in the town during the summer to keep a watchful eye over the abandoned town.
The surrounding area features many recreational opportunities with stunning views of the Potomac Valley and surrounding mountain ranges. In the summer, visitors can stroll through the ghost town or take a hike within the 116 miles of trails that wind throughout the area. Along these trails, old mining artifacts and other remnants of the area’s past can be spotted within overgrown vegetation and along the mountainside.
In the winter, cabins within Garnet can be rented out. During the winter season, the road to Garnet is closed and those who reserve cabins can ski or snowmobile into the town.

Protest against police brutality in New York, 2020.
Marches all over the United States, and later around the World, were triggered by the murder of George Floyd by police officer Darek Chauvin.
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill.Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down, begging for his life and repeatedly saying "I can't breathe".A second and third officer further restrained Floyd while a fourth prevented bystanders from intervening.[4][5]:6:24 During the final three minutes Floyd was motionless and had no pulse[6][7] while Chauvin ignored onlookers' pleas to remove his knee, which he did not do until medics told him to.The following day, after videos made by witnesses and security cameras became public,all four officers were fired. Two autopsies found Floyd's death to be a homicide.[12][13] Chauvin was initially charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, to which was later added second-degree murder; the three other officers were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

Recreational paddle boarder on the Applegate River at the Provolt Recreation Site, Oct. 24, 2019, by Greg Shine, BLM.
What was once an operating Bureau of Land Management Seed Orchard, the Provolt recreation site is now a unique place to discover Oregon’s heritage! Whether hiking, biking or horseback riding along the trails that criss-cross the landscape, or paddling along the Applegate River, the Douglas-Fir stands, whose seeds were once used for reforestation, tell the unique story of Oregon’s timber history.
The BLM acquired the Provolt Seed Orchard in January 1981 and it functioned as a seed orchard for production, breeding and preservation of a select species of Oregon native trees until 2015. During its operation, the orchard provided a cooperative seed orchard program, public access to the Applegate River, and opportunities for local grade school education demonstrations of orchard management. As you venture through the area, you will discover the unique landscape that is now host to abundant wildlife and recreation opportunities.
Take a trip down memory lane through Oregon’s timber history, and discover the unique ecosystem at Provolt.
•The Provolt recreation site is a day use only are that is open from sunrise to sunset. Hours vary depending on season.
•On-site volunteer host
•Dog friendly (must be leashed)
•No drinking water
•Visitors are asked to respect the private property boundaries surrounding the area and avoid areas that indicate “Restoration in Progress”
Site amenities include parking, picnic tables, portable restrooms, and areas open to hikers, bikers, boaters, anglers, and equestrian enthusiasts. The area is closed to campfires and shooting
Near the Provolt recreation site is the unique confluence of Williams Creek and the Applegate River that provides flat-meandering river flows that are ideal for spawning fish like Coho and Chinook salmon. Pacific Lamprey can also be found in this area, which is listed as a species of concern. With the help of our partners, restoration efforts have improved wildlife habitat for species such as the Western Pond Turtle, which is listed as a sensitive species.

BLM Plaza in Washington, D.C. is a two block section of 16th Street NW between H & K Streets just north of the White House.
During the week of the 2020 U.S. elections, the plaza was particularly tense with anti-Trump protestors (mainly), though there were a few pro-Trump protests even later (though mainly along Pennsylvania Avenue).
As you can see from the signs on the fences, the majority of them are anti-Trump (to be polite) or anti-police brutality Most of the people in these pictures are also anti-Trump.

A funicular operates between Lauterbrunnen and the Grütschalp mountain station
2006 - Aerial cableway replaces funicular
The funicular of the BLM was located in a landslip area with a slope of 60% and operation was endangered. Thus in 2005, Jungfrau Railways decided to replace the funicular with an aerial cableway at a cost of 23 million francs. The aerial cableway went into operation on 16 April 2006, greatly increasing passenger and freight capacity between Lauterbrunnen and Mürren.

Lavenham Vintage Volkswagen Meeting 25-06-2016
With up to 150 vehicles registered from all over Europe, previous Lavenham Vintage Volkswagen Shows in Suffolk have been a huge success. Organised by the Historic Volkswagen Club and with assistance from the Split Screen Van Club, expect the 2016 International Vintage Volkswagen Meeting to be an expanded event with greater participation from overseas visitors and the VW trade.
The International Vintage Volkswagen Meeting at Lavenham differs from most UK VW shows in two ways. Firstly, it features only stock, un-modified pre-1967 Vintage Volkswagens. Secondly the cars are displayed in a fantastic setting. Surrounded by many timbered buildings, including the famous Guild Hall, Lavenham's picturesque market square in the centre of the village is the setting for a display of the earliest vehicles.
Additional displays will be located at Lavenham Hall and in the Sports Arena where the dedicated VW Trade Area and autojumble will also be located, just a short walk from the square and close to the church.
Entrance to the Meeting for spectators is free and visitors are invited to have a great day out - wandering around the vintage Volkswagens in the picturesque mediaeval village. It will be a chance to see many of the best early Volkswagens displayed by enthusiasts from around Europe.
View of Lava Mountain (center) and Twin Buttes (right) in the East Lava Field Wilderness Study Area, July 21, 2017, by Greg Shine, BLM.
The East Lava Field Wilderness Study Area (WSA) is located approximately 80 miles southeast of Bend and 26 miles from State Highway 31 in Lake County, Oregon, and approximately 12 miles northeast of the town of Fort Rock.
The WSA contains 27,700 acres of Bureau of Land Management administered land, 640 acres of split-estate land, and a 320-acre state inholding near the eastern edge of the WSA.
The boundaries are described by high standard gravel roads on the south, private land and 1.5 miles of low standard dirt road on the west, low standard dirt road on the north, and low and high standard dirt roads on the east. Small portions of the east and north boundaries are formed along private land.
The WSA, roughly circular in shape, is dominated by an extremely rugged basalt flow which issued from Lava Mountain, and forms a flattened cone covering approximately two-thirds of the study area. Elevation ranges from 4,300 feet to 5,615 feet at the summit of Lava Mountain near the center of the WSA.
Vegetation consists primarily of western juniper, sagebrush, and bunchgrass on the lava flow, and western juniper and big rabbitbrush communities surrounding the flow. Mountain mahogany, aspen, and ponderosa pine also occur at various locations within the lava flow.
The WSA was studied under Section 603 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, and was included in the Final Oregon Wilderness Environmental Impact Statement filed in February of 1990.
The WSA offers exceptional opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation such as hiking, backpacking, tent-camping, sightseeing, photography, caving, and exploring the lava features present throughout the WSA.
Hiking within the lava flow is challenging due to the rough and irregular surface. The area outside the lava flow offer less rugged terrain for camping, and easier access for recreation.

Bull Mountain, Mountana 2020
The Mormon Mountains Wilderness area is a land of mountain ranges and canyons that offer colorful geology, majestic wildlife, and amazing cultural sites. This area is a diverse place: from rolling bajadas speckled with cholla and yucca, to intricately carved canyons forested with pinyon pine and juniper. Finally, the area is crowned with jagged mountain peaks topped with stands of old-growth ponderosa pine. The Mormon Mountains Wilderness area provides important habitat for a variety of wildlife. Low elevations provide habitat for desert tortoise, banded Gila monsters, and sidewinders. Higher mountain elevations provide habitat for desert bighorn sheep, bobcats, and cougars. An impressive variety of raptors live in the area like golden eagles, various hawks, prairie falcons, northern harriers, merlin and American kestrels. Throughout this region some of the most amazing prehistoric sites of Nevada exist. Thousands of archaeological and palaeontological sites offer glimpses into the past.

Designated as a part of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, Spring Creek is a 1.1-mile long scenic river. The creek bubbles out of the ground from its source at Shoat Springs and continues downstream to the confluence with Jenny Creek. Spring Creek is within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and adjacent to the nearby Soda Mountain Wilderness. This area in southwest Oregon is a meeting place of a variety of climates, soils and topography, resulting in an extremely diverse vegetation. Throughout the river corridor are three major vegetative types: stands of mixed conifers and hardwoods; extensive dense, brushy areas; and some open, grassy slopes.
The river corridor also provides one of the most unusual mosaics of wildlife habitat types found in southwestern Oregon, including spring, fall and winter range for a large herd of migratory black-tailed deer and healthy populations of bear, coyotes, mountain lions, and bobcats. The headwaters and upper reaches of Spring Creek are on private land. Visitors are encouraged to be respectful of adjacent private property owners.
Know Before You Go:
•Use caution when exploring along the creek; there are rock outcrops, slippery rocks, steep canyons, waterfalls, and cold, swift water during the winter and spring.
•Rattlesnakes and ticks are common in the warmer months.
•Access is along remote unpaved road systems that may be snow covered in winter.
•Be aware of and respect private property in the area.
•Collect and remove any trash or waste; there is no garbage or toilet facility in the area.
Directions:
Take Highway 66 east of Ashland. Approximately eight miles east of Green Springs Summit, turn south on Copco Road (40-4E-3.1). Continue south for approximately seven miles to BLM road 41-4E-3.2. Turn right and travel approximately 0.5 miles to the road intersection with Spring Creek. Roads in this area are generally open but many do not have legal public access. Roads are natural surface forest roads, and may not be accessible at certain times of the year and may not be accessible by all types of vehicles.
