Semi-retired fireguy living in Central Coast. 2 doggos, 1 fantastic wife, and 2 amazing kids makes for a full life! Outdoorsy, student of wine (fancy way to say I drink wine), hunter-gatherer, reader of books, drinker of strong coffee
Dinner wines - All showed super well; the A. Et P. De Villaine Bouzeron was a treat; The Violot-Guillemard Volnay crunchy and a bit rustic; the Didier Fornerol Côte de Nuits was more polished. Gathering Table - gatheringtablesolvang.com/menu/
A few from the KNF (Klamath National Forest) - wilderness areas do not disappoint: Mule Creek Bridge Marble Mountain Wilderness Taylor Lake Russian Wilderness
Important Research - jump on if you can and help with Evacuation Modeling software
Tell me you're on a fire in the southwest without telling me you're on a fire in the southwest...
Not a ton of great news out there - got outside this early morning and found this. A much better way to start the day.
Camping spot. Fantastic place to start a day (proper cup of coffee assumed).
As part of Incident Management Teams (CICIMT4) - Moose (www.instagram.com/moose.on.a.f...) always goes with me. Here, he's reviewing a "209" (if you have questions, hit me up and I'll give the deeper dive to you).
Sitting in the fog waiting for something to walk by (and much like the tree falling in the forest if no-one's around, would it be heard - would i be able to see a dang thing?) Get out on a hike today (and call your Mom just cause!)
Mount Crumpit (in anticipation of an appearance of the Grinch) - 2024. Taken while assigned to Diamond Lake Complex, Idleyld Park, Oregon
One of my first photos: Fashion Island (Newport Beach) looking across from the Back Bay, 1975
Chewing a little smoke - unless you do this as a career, agree that respiratory protection is a good call. (Me on a local WUI fire a few years back)
Finding beauty on the trail. It's never too hard to do if you slow down or look down (or sometimes fall down).
