I just returned from my car's first tour. We went camping at the tour master's cabin. Large amounts of smoke blowing in from the American fire two counties away gave a surreal look to this post card type photo taken by Jessica Bamber Ryan:

Right after this photo we drove up to Donnor Pass. A well organized and run tour done by Matt Ryan.

There are crews from all over the state working that fire. Terry, did Calfire try to recruit you, too?

RD,

For those of you who are not up on your history, or the references to "pot luck" dinners and "chewing the fat", here is the plaque at the locale where the Donner party was forced to encamp for the winter of 1846-47 when they failed to make it through the pass (now known as Donner Pass) high up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. While the plaque is accurate, it does fail to mention the the one thing that the Donner party is most known for. The cannibalism that all of the members who survived had to partake in...
