we went a number of years back a year (or so) after the huge fires they had. we drove around for awhile and couldnt see any signs of a fire of any sort. then while driving out, we came across the top of a ridge and for as far as the eye could see, black and empty clear to the horizon. it was like someone has nuked the place.
the stunning impact of it was beyond imagination. my wife broke out crying at the sight of it.
