The hills are alive with the sound of burning Cedar. At least they were over in the Blazing Star
Glade while we were there. From starting
time to finish I manned the burn piles and made sure the flames didn’t get out
of hand. It was fun work and
surprisingly tough. The fires burned so
fiercely that there were times I couldn’t reach the flames without quickly
recoiling. My face was the hardest
hit. Just looking at the contained infernos
made it feel like my eyebrows were going to combust at any minute. Fortunately they, like me, survived the
experience.
I feel like we
have made a lot of progress at Blazing Star, but the Red Cedars there were bred
for one purpose: to destroy the world of men.
That might be a little extreme.
Let me rephrase. They were bred
for one purpose: to take up an unbelievable amount of time on behalf of the
Emergency Response Team. At least it’s
fun work; fun, but tiring. I’m going to
turn in early tonight to try and recover my strength. Good night all!
