Looked out my kitchen window and saw this. Hoping it’s not close and it’s not harming people! #FireSeason
@NorCalCherylLyn Where are you ?
@BFBucky1 outside Sacramento in the Sierra foothills.
@NorCalCherylLyn Beautiful area as is most of California.
@BFBucky1 we love it
@NorCalCherylLyn I can imagine. I have made many trips there and enjoyed the times there. I love Yosemite the most.
@BFBucky1 Yosemite is magnificent! I grew up on the eastern side of the Sierras from Yosemite. Totally different landscapes but amazing!
@NorCalCherylLyn There is so much.
@BFBucky1 you could go from the ocean to the highest spot in the lower States then to the lowest spot in the country in 2-3 days if you were ambitious.
I wonder if the southernmost glacier is still there…likely not. 🤔
@NorCalCherylLyn The glaciers are melting but I have been to Death Valley. I spent alot of time over in the Panamint Valley. I stayed in Ridgecrest most of the time. That was when I learned that cars had governors that limited the speed to 110 mph.
@BFBucky1 Death Valley is such a crazy place! My Grandfather mined in the Panamint Mtns for years. Good terrain for testing your car’s limits!
@NorCalCherylLyn I worked on a project at a gold mine near Ballarat. It was or is a big operation. It was a long drive from ridge crest but it was mostly long straight road with no telephone poles.
@BFBucky1 granddad was a powder money all over ID, NV and CA.
My Aunt’s birthplace is a ghost town now. Gma considered the new house fancy if it didn’t have dirt floors. Mining is a hard way to make a living!
This is Gdad a somewhere in the Death Valley area.
@NorCalCherylLyn I see the park fire is going to get worse before it gets better. I hope all is well.
@BFBucky1 yeah, it’s not great news for those folks! Sky up that way is really smokey but all is ok here.
