Well I'm back to civilization, spurred on to make this thread by lookout. I'm all done with fire for this season since school is starting back up at the end of this month. No I wasn't involved in that helicopter crash, nor do I know anyone that was. However, my heart goes out to the families of those involved as I direct you all to
the Wildland Firefighter Foundation website.
On my end, I have a crap-ton of photos I still need to upload to my photo site (see signature). Just got back from a 3 day trip to Yellowstone, and I will be seeing a deactivated Minuteman missile silo and the Black Hills before the week is through on my way back to O-H, I-O. All I can say about Yellowstone is watch out for the idiot foreign tourists that like to walk up to the geysers and stick their fingers in the boiling hot springs..
It's been a crazy 5 months that's for sure.
