HHR exploring my back roads in recent wildfire burn
Hey guys, been a while! Back in Sept my whole place burned down in one of the 3 major Southern CA Wildfires of the 2024 fire season, my house of 5 years with all my things except what I could stuff into the HHR, and 95% of the property I worked at. Hundreds of oak trees that were all known to me like the back of my hand.
Anyways, looks like driving on Mars so thought you'd find the aopcalyptic footage interesing if not depressing. It'll all grow back fast.
HHR trooping along in the back areas of our private acreage. Out and back w/o incident to my new home, picked up an RV!
oh , disastr..
now this California looks more like Arizona from westerns, or really like Mars.
I empathy sympathize with you, man. Losing property is a disgusting joke of fate.
You say "fire season", it seems like it's an annual problem in this area, so you most likely had insurance. If you really do have it, then you'll quickly restore everything.
And of course Blue is right - in any case, your hands and your brains are still with you, and your HHR too.
Good luck to you.
California economic development interests have cultivated an image in people’s minds that may not be entirely accurate. Not just because it’s a big place, it is diverse in the extreme. It has the driest desert in North America, and within that, the lowest elevation, too. It has temperate rain forests. (No forest fires there.) It has the tallest and most massive trees on the planet. Mount Whitney in the prodigious Sierra Nevada range at 4,418 meters is the tallest mountain in the 48 contiguous states.
Fun fact for movie buffs — over 600 “westerns” were made in Europe between 1960 and 1978. (Of which “Spaghetti Western” is a subgenre.) These may have colored the world’s perception of Arizona. The state has [what they call] a monsoon season.

"spaghetti western" is probably an Italian production ...
Thanks PulpFriction. it interesting facts, and I will add my 2 cents about European westerns.
On our side of the Iron Curtain, westerns were also widely represented. My entire childhood was spent with films "about Indians", produced in the GDR, Yugoslavia and even Mongolia. Of course, there were also Soviet films based on the works of Fenimore Cooper.
Serb Gojko Mitic is the main Indian of the USSR. During his career, he portrayed so many Indians that it would be enough for an entire tribe.
maybe you were shown this too, although... - it's unlikely
