These is nothing too impressive in this evening flight, but I thought some of you might like to see a view of our close call with fire this summer. There was just enough ridge lift from a slope to the east of the burn area to keep us aloft. The darken hillside to our east, up and under the power lines, is the burnt grass and forest area. The river to the south in the video is the Columbia.
