they just trying to stay warm around the campfire and calfire keeps dumping water on it and making their firewood all wet so it smokes more when they try to get warm again
What did they do, swim to the Island?
The island can be reached on foot at low tide.
I didn’t think anything but birds etc:hang out their.we took the boat there once couldn’t find a way on.years and years ago
Tweekers always find a way .
Ah,that’s why we didn’t find a way on there.lol.
Fire rekindled (or restarted) again this morning. This time on east side of island, encompassing much of the east side. flames clearly visible. Hard to believe it smoldered hot enough after yesterday’s drenching to work its way over the top and downslope to where it is now on its own. Low tide about 3AM this morning, time enough for someone to get over there, restart it, and get out before everyone wakes up. Anyone checking on arson? The explosions from mortars near Trinidad at all hours of the night has become a regular occurrence, I wonder if there is a connection.
It is getting VERY old for sure. Time for patrols. Enough of the idiots.
is it out yet?
