2 weeks of the living dead

Two weeks of night shift on the Iron Complex in CA just wrapped up for us. It was a good assignment, though somewhat surreal. Sleeping in trailers with 41 other firefighters. Trying to figure out if it is lunch time at midnight or 1 am. Wolfing down breakfast and trying to get to bed as quick as possible. Burning off of close to ten miles of roads. Protecting pot plantations and buddhist temples. Being thanked by numerous strangers just for being out there. I didn't get many pics, just because it was, well, dark, but whatever. It sounds likely that we'll be in yellowstone for the next fire assignment, since there is a fire ripping pretty good in the park now.
