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.

| still some activity in the Burrito Creek drainage but the crews kept it from spreading into Jackass Creek. |

| Day 3 - even better! Just before the sun hits the top of the Ridge |

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! |
