Must be pretty scary seeing the signs of a fire so close to home!<br /><br />Spain's been having a really bad summer with major forest fires this year... It's tragic seeing all the images of charred (or flaming) trees we get in just about every news broadcast (daily!). Seems worse this year than previous ones. Several areas I hiked last Fall-Winter-Spring have gone up in flames, I wonder what I will find when I hit the trails again next month? :o(CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-137813283203454332012-08-23T07:56:10.083+02:002012-08-23T07:56:10.083+02:00Seems this is a common problem in many places righ...Seems this is a common problem in many places right now.
