This morning A.I. & myself arrive at the Moki Woki whatever Trailhead
to seek out Ryan's new box & determine whether it had fallen prey to
the Malibu fire. 2 vehicles are in the lot, both of which had their
windows smashed out. Called rangers, & while awaiting their arrival,
one of the victims returns from his hike. He isn't overly bothered
by the situation, as he is a NBC News producer & leaves for Iraq next
week, to cover the big show. Apparently the prospect of spending the
next few months in Iraq puts ones priorities in order...
By the time Ranger Girl arrived & we finished trading war stories, it
was well past noon & I had visions of Donuts dancing in my head, so
we aborted our quest for the box.
But at least I can report to you that 1), this trailhead is not a
good place to leave valuables in your car, & B), the fire didn't get
within a mile of this letterbox, so it should be fine. Will return
soon.
