This Season Starts Out with a Big BANG....
First of all I want to "Thank" all you loyal "Desert Dogs" out there for checking in. It's been awhile since I updated the DDH but you all know it's hard to keep up on things especially when they are just a hobby.

This season started out with a real shocker for alot of us local San Diegans. Around a week before the 1st big weekend of the year we experienced probably the worst wild fire this region has seen since the 70's. A real bright hunter was lost in our local forest (which is real hard to do since there are roads all through those wilderness areas) and decided to start a couple of signal fires to find his friends. Anyone who can count to "3" knows that you don't start any fires in this area, since we don't get much rain throughout the year. The brush is usually dangerously dry for about 8 months out of the year. Well this "Einstein" of a model citizen decide to do just that, resulting in 1,000s of homes destroyed and taking the lives of a handful of people.

Many local desert enthusiast lost their trailers, bikes, quads, homes, cars and worst of all, their family heirlooms. We here at Desert Dog's House wish these people the best of luck and hope they get back on their feet real soon.

On a lighter note, I missed this 1st big trip!!!! A friend of mine decided that 1st of November was a good time to get married. So while my buds were throwing back "coldies" in the sand, I was watching my friend try to steal the golf courses' (where the wedding was at) maintenance golf cart. He ended up getting caught and we all pointed and laughed.

Peace out home skillet!
