Beginning of the hike we saw the last year grass area where the fire didn't get.
Then, we saw so many burned areas, but also new life from blackened trees and ground.
Because of our left over pain from a previous hike two days ago, we were almost going to cancel this hike. But we did hike and we were pleased.
We learned:
Burned tree shouldn't be cut right away, leave it as long as possible, because the tree can often recover by itself. The life is still inside.
Controlled fire will be needed to protect nature just like Native Americans had been doing for decades. Fire kills fungus, unwanted worms, ticks, and controls the growth of poison oak.
