I meant to publish this earlier, but wasn't able to in between shows. I took the girls to Yerington, Nevada for a fun weekend show- two AGS and two NDGA rings. On the way back, right before I started into the Sierra's, I saw a huge plume of smoke, which was from the newly started Angora fire. I took this picture of it once I had gotten through a good part of the Sierras- the view is from the Mormon Emmigrant Trail. The fire was only a couple of hours old, but this is how big the smoke plume was already. It took the better part of a week and a half to get the fire put out, and I won't be suprised to see more of these fires since we've had such a dry hot year already.
