Burn Baby Burn

Through the past few weeks, our team has managed to pull out mounds of mistletoe, tamarisk, and other brush. As we have been working, the park attendants and rangers have helped up collect it all into a truck and drive it over to a dump site on the far side of the camp ground. This past Monday I was lucky enough to be a part of the group that got to burn those piles! Talk about the biggest bonfire I have experienced. As Park Staff walked around pouring propane on the branches, we came by with flares and flames caught hold. It was an exciting sight to see.

Don't be fooled by my long sleeves, it was extremely HOT!
