lesser amount of fires last yr, but almost 3 million acres went up, almost twice as many fires this yr, but only around a million acres burnt so far smoke has been the biggie this year, just blanketing everything...air quality index goes from 1-10, ten being bad...it's at anywhere from 20-40 depending on where you are....:waah: http://google.org/crisismap/google.c...mbia-wildfires but it's not just here only...i think people need to realize global warming is'nt fiction. we never had this many fires ever when we were growing up. we used to get maybe 6-10 days of mid 80's weather in the summer (30C) now we are getting around 30 plus days of mid 80's weather, which is drying things out much more and making the forests ticking time bombs.... Calf, Wash, Ore, Greece, Siberia, Europe, BC, all on fire, our planet seems to be getting hotter, which sucks, cause there is no planet "B" if we cook this one...;) |

Larry, Ian, my son and I with our friends Pam and John went into the mountains this last weekend and did some wheeling. Hit the Wheeler Lake trail and Mosquito Pass.
Wheeler lake is listed locally as a difficult trail, but we went for it anyway. Airing down for the ride.. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1860/...578df46d_b.jpgWheeler lake and Mosquito pass trail run 2018 by Rob Zulian, on Flickr This trail is in a historical mining area.

It's steeper than it looks! https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1886/...2a15e45f_b.jpgIMGP0012 by Rob Zulian, on Flickr I ended up on the end of my winch cable as I just didn't have the right line and we didn't want me to snap another front shaft early into our weekend. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1899/...27a60e83_b.jpgIMGP0021 by Rob Zulian, on Flickr Larry taking the far left line on the same section.

Re: post up your camping pics
Excellent DSuper5! We camped right at the base of that rock formation in your first pic on our way home from our desert trip this last June. Then we drove right through Page to get home. Love the area for sure. Oh and I'd kill for a Burb like yours too.
