oh those rhinos (cont'd)

After a few days off, we were back to work, this time about an hour up the Alaska Highway in Wonowon. The fire was pretty dead and we got a bit of rain, but it was still overtime and, like always, we managed to have a lot of fun:

Dustin and I worked our asses off one day trying to lay as much hose as we possibly could. Jake loaded us up with as much as we figured we could carry and off we went down the muddy cat guard. Dustin had 12 hoses (= 180 lbs) and I had 10 (= 150 lbs). We made it the full 800 meters to where we needed to go, but not without a lot of yelling and pushing each other on, in part to keep it fun, but also because it was excruciatingly painful


There is nothing more fun on a fire than to have a quad to rip around on, especially when it's really muddy out. I had a blast wowing the guys with how fast I ride and how I could get through the mud pits that they all got stuck in ;)


The only crappy thing about the fire was all the rain we got...rhinos hate the rain!
