It literally felt like you were breathing fire.<br /><br /><br />Stephanie: It would take a lifetime devoted to exploring California to see it all, so you're good.

As a kid growing up in [very] NorCal, every vacation was spent in the Plumas Forest, hiking and camping. When I saw the devastation resulting from the 2007 fires, it took my breath away.
