Amazing trees indeed! I have no idea how old these trees are but yes, probably very old. It was a beautiful day. Sadly, we've had smoke in the sky lately...

I hope they were able to put out the fire, where it is. Fires in the mountains are very difficult to put out because the terrain makes it difficult to reach the fires quickly. If there is strong wind, it makes it even more difficult to do so. It has been a rather dry summer in most places. Hopefully, with the year coming to an end, the weather would be cooler and there will be some rain.

Still going, and probably will be for a while... https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2022/9/6/mosquito-fire/

All those difficult conditions are exactly whats going on. But they made a little bit of progress last night.
