Good Work.
I knew something was up when a fixed wing bomber buzzed my house. "Cripes, what was THAT?"
Spent the next 20 minutes atop my roof wonder what and where all this was taking place.

Re-Opening the road might be awhile. Thanks for the update.

With the fire season in full swing, I may need to find refuge in the North and conquer your mountain Mt. Diablo. If you are ever in southern california let me know!
