This is for my friend Rose Welch, with whom I traveled to Morocco. Her grand daughter, Skylar,  is on her way to stay in Morocco for a time, and she can share some of our experiences with her.

 

And here is one I actually bought, among my collection — one from Africa and another handmade by a friend’s husband in Washington.

UPDATE – From Chris Lewis who shot the video:
“Hi Kate … the warden replied. They got em. It takes a village for sure. Wish everyone could see me lighting that dummy up but I’m really just glad they caught up to them. Great timing finding all those guys at the bottom of the road this morning. [Chris found the warden and several other LEO guys at the bottom of Los Burros Rd. Yesterday morning.] And thanks for being the voice for everyone in south coast. We have to all work together .”

Warning: language is appropriate for what is happening, but some might find it offensive.

The last time this was planned, it could not take place due to weather. I am confirming the plan is the same, but it had been: a target goal of 1000 acres. We are supporting with 20 engines, 3 hand crews , 2 helicopters, 2 bulldozers, and 10 overhead staff
