Brendon had the trail meeting last night, so he was later than usual – around 7:30 pm. He found a burned out truck still smoldering and smoking right outside my front gate. This is what it looked like later, after it was completely out. Thank you John Coons and Big Sur Fire!
And how hot did it get? This hot!
This is what it looked like this am. Can’t see the scorched bushes in these photos. Maybe later.

Wow that is crazy. Hate to think what could have happened if it was a dryer time of the year.
I still believe if you had street spikes a quarter mile or more away before your gate entrance, stuff like this would deter this type of nutty activity happening..
When are you going to write a book?
I think my blog is the book...in chunks more easily digested...🤪

WTF? This is the sort of excitement I'm sure you can do without.
