Our Moms Taught us Not to Play With Matches

They didn't say anything about drip torches...


We've been burning at Squaw Butte. Rory calls this picture the Eye of Sauron. I call it a super hot fire. I thought I melted my pants to my legs while we were lighting it.




The crew taking a break.


About to light another big fire. Woosh!


Aleta N. took this picture. I really like it.


A rock got stuck in the tires of our big bad fire truck and Rory just couldn't get it out no matter what he did. I think it eventually fell out while driving.


The Butte's guard dog.


We found a bat! We think it was disoriented from all the smoke because it was just flopping around. When we put it in a tree it climbed up just fine... I pretend that it survived.



It was beautiful to watch the fires as the sun went down. There were twinkling lights all over the hills.

It's amazing they can keep those fires under control when (from the pictures) they look so big.
