Fotos from the Front

Just when I thought it was over, and that I would be signing off on this fire tonight, more backburns. Looks like McKern on the east and Wild Cattle on the west. Helicopters are cooling it down as I type.

  • Heartfelt sympathy going out to you! We were lucky to have enough of a shower and a wind shift to clear things out from the nearest fires. A week was more than enough to bear. I can't imagine what it's been like with yours going on for what seems like forever!!! Sending a pack of wishes of safety and an end to the worry and smoke and all the stress soonest!

  • Winter with rain will cause havoc on the hwy.
    These road closures were just a warm up...here we go again!

  • A higher sense of self in confidence & positivity is the ticket. The waiting landscape & its seasons to soon arrive, are as the surgery patient in a forced coma. Nature, the hillsides & all of Natures power's now need us to be in step with their finest possible orchestration of a full recovery. Maybe too hippie-visionary yet my bet is the native Sur'ians would be thinking, dancing & gathering in meditation & prayer, even vision quests, to rebirth these slopes back into harmony🐎

  • Prayers to all.........I use to Live in Pacific Valley on the Willet property........... heartfelt love to all ....stay safe..
