Big things!

This fire had Big planes trees and hills.The passenger plane you see was dropping retardant. unfortunately he dropped his load out of our view. But one thing we noticed is he was a lot quieter then the C-130 doing drops.
The planes weren't all that was large out there. The trees and the steep hillside we had to hike were large as well. The tree's are Sugar Pine, and there were a few large Fir's as well.

Steep climb

Some of these pictures don't do it justice on just how steep it was. In places it was like climbing. The hill was closer then an arms length while you were standing straight up. I am a bit amazed the cat was able to stay on the hill side as he cut the fire line in. Maybe that is why he went straight up and down in those spots.

That's all for now check back I will post more of our fire season soon....
