Jackie Fenton Myers posted this link on Facebook and I thought they were appropriate to post here. The LA area is home to numerous Paddlewisers and while lots of us face little threat of wildfires, many of us in the western USA do. These are awesome photos. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/09/wildfires_in_southern_californ.html Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA www.nwkayaking.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Actually, Bob sent them to me. He also sent me these..... http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-bigpicturefire,0,5985825.htmlstory There are also a series of time-lapse videos on YouTube taken from various locations of the fires. Fascinating to watch (unlike real-time and being right there) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIm9Th6yq7U&NR=1 Those folks that trudge into those hell fires to do battle with some monstrous, 40' plus flames and extremely rough terrain, get more respect from me than I can describe. What they have accomplished in the last week is nothing short of amazing. Sadly, two fire fighters lost their lives in the blaze.

We heard there were fires around Moses Lake, Craig. Hope all is well. Looks like rain is back now.

We are surrounded by irrigated fields so we feel pretty safe.
