Still sending positive thoughts up north. We just spent the weekend finishing up brush clearance at our cabin in the San Bernardino’s. Three trailer fulls of Silverthorne, oak leaves, and pine needles taken out to at least 30’, preceded by the removal of several trees two weeks ago…too close to the structure. SB County and USFS are predicting similar conditions this Fall as in 2007, when a fire roared through the community.
The county provides FREE transfer station/landfill access for the material and gave plenty of notice prior to the 8/31 cleanup deadline. I couldn’t believe the bitching, moaning, and hollering I heard while unloading, especially from full time residents. Not everybody of course, but quite a few. So much clear evidence of the danger but heads in the sand.
