This is this years fire season slide show that I made. I didn't do the music but I did everything else. My boss didn't like the music from last years video so he wanted me to use his picks which I think sucked for the purpose of making this kind of video, but whatever. It was nice last year because me and another guy making the video had complete creative control. Anyway, to start out we did some tree falling videos to show some of the project work we did and this years video goes in some chronological order. First project, then Nor Cal, then goes on to Washington. It briefly goes into our Utah and Idaho runs which were not long ones. Most of our time was spent in Cali and then Washington so we devoted most of the time to those two places. So thats the video, shorter than last years as well. I noticed when I showed people the 07 one, around 5 min they lost interest so that is why I made this one that short. I would love to get your feed back on this and any suggestions for next year. Oh and be warned there is swearing in the music. The only one that I noticed is during the Washington portion (it has a digerydoo at the beginning of the song with helicopter and plane videos). Its durring the second slide after the close up of a guys face who is smiling and has red retardent running down his helmet. Now you are warned. 

(For a larger version its also on youtube under UFRA 2008)

The fire season is almost over. I thought it was done but today they (lone peak) called me and asked if I wanted to stay on call for the next 30 days in case Cali could use us and I agreed. I don't think that we will be going and in like a week or two they are going to call us and tell us that they aren't going to need us. Well now that things are done for the most part what's next for old Geoff? Hopefully some traveling. I haven't really gone anywhere in a while and it would be nice to see something new. I hope as well to do some backpacking. Get away from it all for a few days. That would be nice. Well thats my update.
