The kind of summer camp I could get into.

Nice digs for season! I hope every day is a pleasant one!

I passed by Lemmon Rock lookout last weekend on my first hike on the control road since the burn in the summer of 2020, and was thinking of you, how lucky you are to be in the lookouts you love again after being concerned that you would have to call it quits. A few more of the pines in the stand at the end of the control road had been burnt (a stand which had barely survived the two big burns of the early 2000s),, but it looked as though the fire had mostly just swept through clearing out the underbrush. I was relieved to see that, along the control road in general, the burn was not as severe as on the north slopes of the Santa Catalinas along Reef of Rocks, Red Ridge Trail, and Oracle Ridge Trail, where pretty much everything had been incinerated in a firestorm in that 2020 fire.
