My third day at the helibase, fourth day of working on this fire. The heat was much lower today, only getting into the mid eighties. The other days it had been in the mid to upper nineties, and other crews … Continue reading →
Day 21 of the fires and once again I was down in Redway with a crew from Ferndale to provide crash rescue support for the helibase. The second time it was a bit easier because we knew what to expect, … Continue reading →
I thought it would be fun to have one model wear several of the bias gowns from the collection in a multiple exposure (pun intended). Since today was so warm, I called Kate up and went out after work to … Continue reading →

During the last part of yesterday’s ride, I finally found a spot in Humboldt County where the water was actually very comfortable to swim in. So I went back home, and then Lori and I went back to watch the … Continue reading →
