I have been gone for about three weeks working on a fire three fire rehab projects. It was a little tough this go round and there were some problems with the aircraft but all in all it was another great experience.
All in all we flew 2808 tons of straw mulch onto 3609 acres and 246,047 pounds of seed onto 17,155 acres on the three fires. It was a great experience again although somewhat cold. We didn't have a lot of snow to work through and everyone made it home with no problems.

I think it's cool that you get to do these projects!
I remember going to Lost Lake when I was a kid. Does Inklings remember? Is this the same Lost Lake? Just wondered...
I think this is a different one---was the one you went to up by Panguitch Lake? This one is above Teasdale.

I love that picture with the sunlight reflecting off the mountain. I think it is labeled, "tail off".
I love the pictures.
And you get paid to do this, when you'd probably do it for FREE! hahaha
LL---amazing ain't it!!! ;-)
