I heard from Ethan, the Captain of the Kentucky Pirate Party, on August 5th. He arrived at his station August 4th, after leaving fire fighting training in Oregon August 3rd. He was sent to battle the McKinney Fire in California deployed as a fire fighter during wildfire season. It’s in the very northern part of California near the Oregon border.

Those pics are the terrain we are hiking through.

We’re lucky to have a base in town with showers and a chow hall.

We get up at 5am, but are out of the service range around 6.

Good night.
