Good call, Teslin, and glad you're okay. I remember an interview with a mountain climber who was caught in a severe electrical storm -- "we felt like flies that were about to be swatted." And with the chance of your access road being cut, it was definitely time to bug out. No sense in adding to the problems of the parks/forestry officials. Seems like there are fires everywhere.

Aside from that, I have to confess that my heart nearly leapt out of my chest when I saw your photo. I haven't been able to get to "the rocks" all year. Responsibilities and all that. I really need to reform my ways.

Cheers,
Doug
