No that’s my neighbors land in the pic, except for the top of that oak tree. I’m on 10acres that looks similar to what you see with a few sprinkled trees throughout and a little flatter.
I bought out here because it’s just grassland and not too many neighbors. Much easier to create a defensible space around the house. i’m very safe from the Park fire but we’ve had some close calls out this way already with some smaller fires. But l’m much safer out here compared to up just a little higher in the foothills. Sucks to not have many trees out here. I used to love the trees originally being from the Santa Cruz mountains and all but after what happened in Paradise they scare the hell out of me now. At least here in the NorthState they do.

I hope you’re doing ok! It’s a terrible situation. We have just a little haze down here in the South Bay. We were at Ano Nuevo State Park today and got to check out some molting Elephant Seals. There was a fire in the mountains behind the park at some point. Even the coast isn’t safe. Those mountains are so sandy . Those trees helped to preserve the structure of the hillside by hwy 1. Without them you can see the serious erosion and sand just collapsing from the hillside onto the hwy. I wouldn’t want to drive that during a heavy rainstorm.
In the picture are those fried mountains and in the water the elephant seals swimming to shore and some on the sand in the sun molting. Those Elephant Seals are incredible.
