Oh, different Rim Fire.... Before my time up here being in 2013 and all, but my neighbors were all evacuated. Burned to within about 4 miles of my place. I go out into the burn area quite often for trails in the jeep and dirt bikes. It has now been reforested and the trees in some cases are already 15-20 feet high depending on species. You can also see living trees on the ridges in straight lines where the tankers dropped retardant in efforts to stop the fire.

I used to go camp at Cherry Lake out there long before the fire and it was a beautiful drive with heavy forest. This is Jacka$$ falls that I only found after the fire, but have been told this spot was unbelievable prefire.
