wolfpackmet Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Pretty crazy to think I was in that area less than 3 weeks ago, stopped in Groveland for coffee. It was so dry up there, 1000 hr fuels and ERCs are at their peak for the season. Too bad the recent monsoon/tropical push didn't make it north.
