I got my 5 minutes of fame in a interview on NBC National News tonight!
My New Dually sustained relatively minor damage compared to most of the vehicles all around me
that burned to the frame.

A Yellow 2006 Pontiac GTO Race car (Stocker looking) on open trailer
also looked like it survived OK about a 1/4 Mile behind me up the hill.

The toughest part was foot racing straight up hill for about a mile and a half when wind
shifted and having to abandon your stuff to the fire and GO!!! Amazing
how fast and long you can run (even pushing 70yrs.) when you pants are smoking
from the fire when the wind changed and gas tanks were going off like bombs!!
