My old crew, the El Cariso Hot Shots, is having a reunion April 11-12 at Temecula, CA. I won’t be able to attend, but I dug out some of my old photos from 1970-1972. If you click on them, you can see slightly enlarged versions.
Doing PT’s in 1971. We had to wear our boots while we ran. Don’t ask me why.
Dining at fire camp.
Taken in 1972 on the San Bernardino NF after we got chased out of the fire and hung out at a safety zone.
Barry Koncinsky running the chain saw.
A TBM making a drop near our fireline in 1972.
Below are some much more recent photos of El Cariso, from YouTube. Be warned it has some loud music.
Feel free to leave a comment below. You’ll have to register with Google, but it’s painless.
