The Blaine County Journal News-Opinion - We've Got The County Covered

Looking west from the Chinook Golf Course this photos shows some of the drifts of topsoil deposited during a wind event in early February. The drifts, some three feet tall, were created when the caragana bushes along the west edge of fairway # 3 slowed the wind. These tallest drifts are on the rough but some of the blown dirt made it to the fairway further east. Many drifts in this area are over existing snowpack so removal of the dirt will begin later when the area is sufficiently dried.
