Ahhhh..................stay tuned for our version of a similar event....................................MarkBC said:<snip>
You know how they say "wash your car and it will rain". Well, I just received a new tent, and I set it up on the deck to check it out, set it up without the fly. Then I headed for the grocery store. That started the rain.
Dampness in a trip report, perhaps?ski3pin said:Ahhhh..................stay tuned for our version of a similar event....................................

Ski, Pretty neat stuff, Years ago I got to watch a DC10 drop retardant on a lightening strike near my cousins ranch in Montana. 2 women fire fighters parachuted in first to direct the plane. 2 trips and the fire was out. jdski3pin said:Friends have been working as fire looks outs at both Buck Rock and Delilah in the southern Sierras. It been eventful thus far this summer. They experienced their first direct lightning strike while in Buck Rock tower along with the raging storm. I just received this note -

We were given a heads up late last night that temporary repeaters were placed at the base of our lookout for the Sierra National Forest"[/SIZE]

I was just having this conversation with a friend. The smoke has spread and is so dense there has been no air operations until a few minutes ago due to visibility. This is a dangerous fire in a well populated rural area. Fingers crossed.craig333 said:.................................. Just imagine what would happen if the wind blew.
Heavy smoke this morning in Nevada City. It's our annual fundraiser Duck Race for our rotary club too. I don't fancy working hard in the smoke and I'm sure our attendance will be down. Minor inconveniences compared to the devastation and loss by so many.ski3pin said:I was just having this conversation with a friend.

I'm thinking because of your recent trip, Oregon might be feeling a lot colder than usual to you.MarkBC said:The overnight low was about 35°F in Bend. Maybe we won't have summer to kick around for much longer -- up here in the Oregon arctic, anyway.
Maybe so. I have confirmed that cold-and-dry is my ideal climate.ski3pin said:I'm thinking because of your recent trip, Oregon might be feeling a lot colder than usual to you.
We have friends from NC who live in the Bay area but have a weekend place in/near West Point. They've been on pins and needles over the Butte fire, but I can't tell which group of fires the Butte is within the InciWeb California listings.ski3pin said:I was just having this conversation with a friend.
