May 21. Lost it! Photo taken by Ian Morgan - Brian Hendricks "Jimmy" driving through flames next to the road.

About 120ft from our planned end of the burnout a spot fire got out. Apparently Blue Ridges couldn't catch it because grew to quickly and was deep into the green and hard to reach fast. I didn't see it for myself since we had rounded a bend in the road. We RTO'd (reverse tool order) to the black behind us that had already cooled off from the burnout operations. Then we walked back through the ash to the buggies.

Back to square one. Great day so far! Camera problems aside.
