The Burn Zone
Today I rode east through some of the areas that were part of the wildfire this fall. The pictures don't really do justice for the miles upon miles of black but they will give you an idea.
The scary thing is these photos were only about 5 miles south of my parents' house. While they were never evacuated, they were definitely right by the fires!
Seriously, hill after hill was charred black.
Not sure what all the yellowish-brown stuff was, maybe fire retardent or to help prevent erosion. It was incredible to see how close the fires got to the homes in Rancho Santa Fe. While the fire department had a tough time controlling the fires, they did an incredible job protecting many homes!
