Over a month ago a fire started in the Feather River Canyon, very close to where the #Camp Fire started. This fire, called the Dixie Fire, continues to burn and it has burned over 750,000 acres so far. That is a lot of land.
I drove down the Feather River Canyon today. It was an all too familiar sight of destruction and some re-construction.
I stopped at one our favorite spots along the way, Rock Creek. Our family has hiked there, fished there, along with swimming, picnicking and collecting rocks there for many years.
The fire did not burn the lower portion of Rock Creek. I spent some time hiking around and then just sitting on a rock looking at the water.




And completely unrelated, this is what Gracie and Benny look like when they want to come into the house through the bedroom. They can really give you those doggy eyes when they want something.

It is a shame about how much land has fallen to fire this year. I cannot believe the photos I’m seeing, particularly at South Lake. The air quality warnings are so dire.
On a lighter note, it must be nice to be distracted by the fun-loving duo you have there, though Benny does look like a bit of a punk… naturally adolescent!
