Fire season has started with a vengence this year - last week a fire at Silver City (15miles away) and Silver Springs (10miles away), over the weekend, Pleasent Valley (about 30miles), yesterday Clear Creek/Spooner (30miles) and Badger/Brunswick Canyon (20miles). The Badger/Brunswick has between 700-1000 acres involved, 20% contained right now. The others are all out.
I have to do this with a bobcat. It used to be easier when we had the tractor, but tractors are very limited in their usefulness here because of the rocks. We got alot more accomplished over all once we got the bobcat. I'm getting better at using it:). One time while working the arena and scooping up dirt to move back up it, I forgot to take my feet of the pedals that work the bucket. I was looking around at where I wanted to dump it. Well the bucket just went up, up, up, and then dumped backwards right on top my head. I was buried up to my waist in the cab:). That was such a shock. I was sitting there gasping like a fish out of water. Mack has almost banned me from using it.
I'm sorry about all the fires. Is there danger where you live?
