A few weeks ago a big fire ripped through Lake county. I decided to head north and check out my local backpacking spot and see the damage.

Pretty crispy. At least less thorns for a little bit.
The question now is if the yellow star thistle will come back weaker or stronger. Hate those things.
Yeah.Those pretty much ruled that area out for GGGs. If we get a long wet winter and spring maybe there would be a chance for something else, like poison oak. Glad your spot was spared.
Of the spiked thing in I believe it is picture 15?
Pine cone of the gray pine (Pinus sabiniana). The fire caused all of the resin in the cone to leech out to the surface, giving it a glassy finish.
