I didn't want to post this back when the fire was raging (no need to be sensationalist), but back when the Flat Fire first began in central #Oregon on August 21, I was boondocking and saw it pretty close up. I had to adjust my plans so I would be a safe distance away across the Deschutes river valley. 😲

I'm glad Sisters and other major town were saved! #Wildfires #HighDesert #SilentSunday

waiting Near Point D, R-2508 Sidewinder Low Level Complex. That day I saw only 2 planes. The mast is my inflatable scanner antenna that I made a mast out of ½" PVC and my Peak Design CF tripod #avGeek #R2508 #spotting #PeakDesign #highdesert #aviation

High desert is truly beautiful. The heat is relentless, dusty, windy and dry; but oh, my heart.
