  • Far be it from me to assume such, but I get the impression that FHL wants to force us onto one "social" media company, a private, profit-making enterprise in competition with other such companies or onto the telephone. I hope I'm wrong.

  • I was camping at Kirk Creek on Wednesday and late in the morning I noticed smoke coming from the SE direction. I assumed that the fire was from Hunter Leggett area a few hours later I was heading down towards Willow Creek and I stopped in at the forestry station PV the gentleman at the desk inside the fire station said that it was a fire on Hunter Liggett started by most likely live fire and that it was reported at 3000 acres but was actually only 1000 acres and was 100% contained.
