burnin' ring of fire.

Heading to Boise on our own airplane!

Phoenix 3 at our fire camp in Idaho.
Burnout operation to protect the town of Featherville. Our job was to "hold the line" which just means watching to make sure no fire heads to the "green" (the stuff we don't want to burn)
Green Limabean. Our bus for the two weeks.
Trees starting to torch outside of Featherville, Idaho.


Photo by Ben taken on our last day of work.

 Hello! Here are a few pictures of my crazy adventure out West. Per usual, I have limited internet access but I figured a few fire photos might hold you folks over for a few days. Overall, the trip was a whirlwind of long days, late night, little sleep, TONS of food, hilarious moments, blisters, dirt, ash, smoke, fire, smelly bodies etc etc etc!

More to details and photos to come!
I'll leave you with the quote that pretty much sums up the whole fire experience... 

"We came as boys and girls... We left as men." 
- Phoenix 3


Over and out,
Liz
