Under orders again. I'm out at Ft. Eustis, VA for a month of ANCOC.
Take care bro and stay safe.
Thought you would enjoy seeing a shot taken off one of the islands off our coast called Santa Cruz Island.
Whoops... the below photo was shot at Coso Junction off Hwy 395, this is the photo coming out of Darwin, CA that does Mt. Whitney justice.
Here's a shot of a helicopter just North of Ridgecrest headed towards Fort Irwin... do you remember traveling this route? Mt. Whitney is in the background... : ) CBThe 2.5 thread? I was certainly trying hard to keep things civil! I've not always been that well behaved, I must admit. I do try to behave myself though. ;-)
Things are good in my part of the country, but some rain would be nice (it's now winter). I'm losing track of how many years the drought has continued - maybe up to 13 years now.
You're in emergency dispatch eh? You would have liked that bad day we had in February - I think it was something like 5000 calls that day for fire only. Ouch. Mobile phones have been both a blessing and a curse really, we get calls quickly but we get too many people calling as well... Can't win, can we?
Hey, great photos on your training too. Unfortunately, we don't have a LPG tank exercise. But we know, that similar thing might happen. Oh well. I'll keep you posted.
Mike
Cheers Leo
