Early morning run up Three Mile Creek in Perry Canyon, then hit the switchbacks to the upper bench. While running I saw smoke coming from the next canyon ahead. I ran to it and saw flames, so I sprinted. Just as I rounded a bend in the trail where the fire was I scared the stuffing out a boy and his dad cooking their breakfast. They we camping there. I explained that I saw smoke and flame, but no people and came to put out the fire. They just looked at me like I was crazy so I excused myself and resumed running. Lots of hills, wildflowers and six creek crossings. |
