High Sierra Topix

Thanks Eric. Death Valley is my favorite NP now...but only when it is cool and stormy. Carrizo is only about an hour from my house so I spend a lot of time there.

Have you seen the damage by the Soda Fire last week Mountaineer, on the southern end of the monument? Approx 2000 acre burned, but it has been contained.

Have not been down there since the fire...however, I wouldn't necessarily call it "damage". I would be willing to bet that the fire germinates dormant flower seeds an it will be quite a display down there next year. The fire was way down on the southern end of the area and mostly grassland. It should be beautiful down there next spring.

Exactly.
