Earlier we decided to just go for a quick drive around town and over to the road that looks out over the valley. I got out of the jeep to photograph the clouds and had never taken photos of this area except in snow. I thought it looked so pretty. We travel this mountain road to go down to the area(s) where we use to live.
The group of houses down in the hills is Waterman Canyon - which is where the extremely destructive 2003 "Old Fire" started that burned so much of the mountain areas and also in to the city below the mountains. This is the fire that came to our back fence when we lived down the mountain.
That Tudor House below is the house of a local here in the mountains. He had a sports bar that burned down about 3 years ago in town and he is finally opening another one soon - probably with the next several weeks. It takes a long time to open a business in the mountains and the reason according to many locals is that county inspectors take their time approving inspections. I guess they get tired of driving mountain roads.
