The Meyer Family

Kit, Bryson and I were driving back from Sacramento last night on Highway 299. We got off to a late start and ended up driving 299 in the dark. For those that have not done this, its not fun. Curvy, two lanes with lots of wildlife to watch out for AND a couple of active wild fires! We did the drive on Saturday down to Sacramento during the day and it wasn’t fun with all the smoke from the wild fires. At a point it was thicker than some fog we see in Humboldt. We never did see fire, but we knew it was close. Well last night about 1/2 into the drive on 299 we started to see some red glowing parts of the hill side. I made the comment to Kit that I have really never seen a forest fire, except for the smoke. Driving a bit farther we saw that it was rather big and and very active. We took some shots from our camera and tried to capture the fire. These shots were taken around the DelLoma Area.
