Autumn Arrives - September Ends - Part Two

The next day, we woke to a much calmer scene, and I went to town without too much getting-home anxiety.  Sara and Grant came to Tobin while I was gone, and they took a great selection of photos of day 2 of the Tobin Fire.  By Day 3, we were all ready for something else, so we went kayaking. After all that, the last couple days of September were relatively quiet and normal, which is nice, too.

Morning sun comes down the Ridge into the canyon.  No hard plumes of smoke to be seen.
still some activity in the Burrito Creek drainage but the crews kept it from spreading into Jackass Creek.

Coming home to even better conditions
helicopters still flying
Day 3 - even better!  Just before the sun hits the top of the Ridge
Illuminated borate stripe
On to Silver Lake, where we can remember that the world isn't full of helicopters.  Ahhh!
Now we are at Silver Lake with Grant and Sara, and it's a glorious day!

Beautiful Sara
Sara at the bottom of the cliff, Jeffery up on the ledge high above, barely see-able.  Grant is on his way up there, too.
There's Jeffery and Grant
There they are over there!

My good old Jeffery!
