Race Through Hell
« on: May 04, 2016, 02:38:00 PM »
Found this video on the FB page of someone who evaced from the wild fire currently raging in Canada.   Not sure if the video is of the trip through that wild fire, but  Race Through Hell   works as a title.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

I can't remember where this wildfire was but I always liked this picture.

I ran off to watch TV but I'm back. I've seen that video or one very much like it before. I don't think it's new but it really gives you an idea what it's like to be there. The place in the picture I posted was Bitterroot Forest, Montana in 2000. Whenever I see a video or picture of a forest fire I think of that one. It was a once in a lifetime shot that some people can't believe is real. http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/bitterroot.asp#photo
