It makes it easy to share with others
Again many thanks, Sarah! Those pictures make me so homesick and that BLUE SKY! I can almost smell the Bear Clover! The snow can’t fall soon enough.

Here on the South Fork, the choking smoke is almost all gone now, and for the first time a clear view of the Dennison ridge in the distance, with a massive smoke column to the right of the peak wafting up into the air, giving it the appearance of a volcano.
How are all the folks in 3 Rivers who don’t get enews supposed to know warning was lifted? It’s not in Cal Fire Incident Reports. The poorest communication regarding such a vital event topic. So much for CaLFire Emailed Incident Reports or Facebook or inciweb reports from West part of complex.
