Chapter 17: Burning...

This is a view from the Pit of the Table Lands with the pasture in front of it burning.

During the weekend, it was the Bishop trout fishing derbie. Some wise fisherman, lover of nature and the great outdoors decided to 'dispose' of his nicotine distributing device. It all burned, all of it: 150 acres.




Despite laws, signs, warnings and fires, millions are still throwing the cigarette but. Next time you see a smoker being stupid at you crag, say something. Remember, it could be your climbing/hunting/biking/running spot that gets closed down or burned out as a result of irresponsible behaviors.

Hey Dom!

Got your letter but it is at the Pit with the rest of my stuff. We got kicked out in a hurry by the cops and the firefighter. The blaze never crossed the road. We've been sleeping in the fareground for the last 2 nights. It sucks.

Clay got on the bus all right but Greg did not. Driving through town in the morning, I saw him. He is very very confused and is looking for a way to go back home now. I wish him good luck.

I will write you more as soon as I get access to your email address - which is at the campground :)-.

It is actually good that you went back home. Remember, on road trip must end for another one to start.
