Billy Joe writes, "After a long and quite torturous bus ride deep into the night, we finally arrived at one of the Marble Cone fire camps in the dark of night. We all grabbed a sleeping bag, got a couple quick hours of sleep.
Upon awaking we were greeted by smoke lifted by such intense heat that moisture was cooling and forming clouds high up in the sky!" Comments | Permalink
