Can't see nuthin but trees from my house.
But when I head down the hill and look out over the desert, dang, nice burner! Especially at night. The drive home watching the fire runs on the hill side and pinon and juniper torching off was entertaining, even from the distance. Gotta keep the eyes on the road though... It's hard to look away.
It really gets my adrenalin flowing again. Thought I was over all the excitement of wildfire, after finally reaching retirement... WRONG ! ! !
Should've stuck it out a few more years.
