• Where There's Fire - by Steve Nelson
  

  We had a long drive from Oceanside, OR to Arcata, CA today. Arcata was a change of plans from our intended stop in Klamath Falls since there are fires in the area. Since the coastal road to Arcata had potential closures, we took the long way through a national forest.
