Hard Day with Good Pay!

Today, which was originally planned as a day of burning off a huge prescribed burn lot, was spent digging a 1/4 mile fireline down a steep-ass hill for several hours only to have the burn canceled on us. What made matters worse after we began our arduous hike back up the line we just made, it snowed it's ass off:









Driving seemed more treacherous than walking. At one point in time we couldn't see the other side of the 10 acre meadow we were driving across. So to recap, fireline dug that's not going to be used, freezing cold and snow, but 10 1/2 hours of overtime!
