We went to check out fire damage yesterday afternoon once the smoke lifted and what a difference that made! When we looked in the morning, you could only see about the length of a football field or two. In the afternoon you could see all the devastation for miles!
At nite, we went to the country club where you could actually see flames on the ridges near Pilot's Peak! That was so cool. We tried to get pics but you really couldn't see it on a camera - but in person it was one of the top 10 coolest things I have ever seen in nature!
The fire is currently 222, 777 acres, has 5,115 fire personnel and is the fourth largest fire in California history. And the estimated containment date is Sep 20!

| The little mound of dirt at the bottom of this pic still had smoldering areas with smoke! |

| We saw a bunch of these - this is where a tree root burned all the way into the ground. |
