Days 320/365



We took a drive with Chris and Andrea thru the Tujunga Canyon where the Station Fire occurred last August. I was struck by the magnitude of it all. On TV, you just see a very small portion of the devastation. Mountain after mountain, mile after mile, burned. Looking at these pictures, it is hard to imagine this area used to be dense tree forests. It looks like Mars now. Although, I was pleasantly surprised at how fast some green has appeared. We also saw houses burned to the ground. The only evidence they'd ever existed was the brick fireplaces left behind. So sad.
