I think TV boss I was doing 55 when taking the pics.
Power outages, road closures and air you wouldn't want a piker hack to breath. Makes for a long day, no matter how short it is.

really quite scary out there isn't it

Doubt it, this year is no different than most. A few have hit more populated areas, that's why you hear about it.

hit the nail pert near on the we have 13 major fires burning in basically the north state. from 300,000 + acres down to 2,500 + acres.

we personally lucked out, some of our friends were lucky. some weren't.

the ponderosa is still a major concern, it's hot, fast and growing into a steeper hand crew battled fire.

Sure hope the Ponderosa is OK. I love that place.
