After that it dries out and becomes inedible, and thus a fire hazard.Desert Survivorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620590624490393921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670419199327567458.post-11771012572660424812012-08-14T16:32:03.911-07:002012-08-14T16:32:03.911-07:00Great job!

Then, driving up Highway 395, near Red Mountain, we could SMELL smoke. Turns out, there's a fire up in Kern County. Several fire trucks were at our hotel and the firefighters left at 6 am the next morning. We also saw several bulldozers coming down from the eastern Sierra to help with the fire. I salute you people who fight fires!trav4adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411656522344925200noreply@blogger.com
