I don't think DW and I would have lasted the first night - we typically won't camp on holidays unless we are somewhat assured we won't deal with that kinda b.s.
Born and raised in CA, been around and through many fires, even been evacuated. The last one came within 25ft of our home, firefighters did an excellent job and saved our house but the fire burned about 3 acres of our property. Wasn't a campfire that caused this either, it was an idiot grinding...
Some cool pic's, got me thinking of my youth and some fun times our family had. But all the photos are back in Cali in a box, one of these days I may see them again.
