Local artist Virginia Hoge's description of her pastel drawing. "When doing "memory drawing" I tend to take a birds-eye view sometimes. This is one of those times as regards the fire. Witnessing a whole side of a mountain glowing like coals. It was something I had never seen before.
The Half Way House to the summit was built by Benjamin Wilson. After Wilson abandoned the trail to the hikers and horses, George Islip took ownership. He grew stone fruit, kept bees and serviced the needs of hikers. The site would eventually become known as Orchard Camp. Mount Islip is named for him.
It was customary for those making the journey to the summit, to build a huge bonfire on Signal Point. It was intended to alert those in the valley below, that all was well! Can you imagine?
A fun blog. Balcony/Baloney. That's a pun. Use a pun, go to jail.
The presence of hikers is a recurring theme.
Palm, A beautiful blog site. The images are marvelous.
Now I see what you were saying about yucca's on the burnt out landscape!
