A Peek At Rancho Bernardo

A Peek At Rancho Bernardo: "

Driving up the 15 freeway on an urgent errand, we passed by the backside of the development where I used to live. This is just a little hint of the devastation in Rancho Bernardo. In fact, I'd call this the least of the damage.

We watched helicopters making their water drops and saw one land out at Kit Carson Park. Huge dust cloud from the landing was actually rather fascinating. Later, on the way back, more helicopters were diving in and out of smoke and dumping water on the other side of the freeway.

The crews out fighting the fires are nothing short of heroes. God bless them all.
