    Don and I were driving up to sneak in a Friday Muni ride in Santa
    Barbara when Eyal called and said a fire in the nearby Los Padres
    Mountains was scattering ash all over the city and the sky was smoky
    and dark as midnight. Only option was to turn north and hope we could
    salvage a ride in Ojai. When we started at the top of Pratt trail (with
    locals Evan and Paavo), a gigantic wall of smoke hung just to our west.
    By the time we'd made our way to the bottom, the edge of the smoke was
    virtually upon us the a huge red orange sun hung in the haze. A
    surreal ride. Don has a few pics.

    The lighting was surreal! The sun was at times a flourescent red sphere
    and cast an orange glow.

    When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new b*cycle. Then I
    realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked
    Him to forgive me. ~Emo Philips

    Give a man fire and he is warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he is
    warm for the rest of his life.

    Could you actually feel the heat of the fire? Could you smell the ash?
    Here in Israel we get fires during the dry summer and the ash kind of
    stings your lungs even a month after the fire has been put out.

    There is this one really cool trail that I ride all the time with tons
    of Cacti and weeds and brush. The trail is almost like a tunnel through
    the Stuff. Anyways that brushland was burnt about a month ago and I
    discovered a HUGE cave only about 20 feet away fromthe trail. I would
    have never discoverd it if allthe brush and weeds were not burnt to the
    ground exposign it!

    No, the smoke cloud was several thousand feet high and rather far off. A
    year ago we had a huge fire here that rained entire burnt leaves for
    weeks.

    Raining burnt leaves can make any MUni ride memorable!
