Exploring Freshly Burned Creekbed

I live in the eastern part of Washington State and we recently got hit with a couple of huge, raging wildfires. One of the places that got hit especially hard was a rugged valley called Bear Gulch.

Buddy and I decided to go out there just yesterday, right after the place re-opened. We are both very familiar and fond of the area, normally its well forested and the creeks are brimming with thick impassable trees and brush. The kinds of aspen groves so tight you could hardly see 10ft through them. To the point where there wasn't a good place to cross the creek anywhere.

Well turns out the firefighters tilled up the road, and cut a big ol fireline down one ridgeline, across the creek, across the road, and straight up the otherside of the mountain. So we did what guys do, and we decided "hey, this isn't steep, pashaw, I've walked steeper in my sleep." once we decided we couldn't hike all the way up it, which didn't take long, we decided to hike down one of the burnscars and follow the burned out drainage at the bottom.

Found some odd things, some bones which were grown into the soil with roots restraining them. We had to dig these two big bones out of the soil with rocks. Not sure what they might be from, maybe a deer? Hopefully someone could have input on that. Anyway its pretty unique to hike in a freshly burned zone, especially after rain like we just got. Tons of erosion already, those bones would probably not have been sticking out if not for it.

I would hope the wildflowers are killer come next spring!
