In memory of Laws and Caramba

[Fred]

I thought it would be nice to see some pictures before the fire.
Maybe others could post some?
It is so sad I am not sure I would like to see it now.

Nice pics. Not to be morbid but would be interesting to see before and after pictures too.

theres much to be thankful for in this, not one firefighter or anyone else for that matter was lost. it may take awhile, but that mountain will be fine. Laws and carumba will still be there.
