Donnell Fire Burn Scar & SR-108 (Part 2) - Stanislaus National Forest

This is part 2 of my photos. The photos for today are from Stanislaus National Forest. Photos are from State Route 108 and of the Donnell Fire burn scar shot from Dardanelle, CA and Kennedy Meadows, CA.

Warning: Please note that exploring burn areas could potentially be dangerous as there are hazards on the roads and around the area (power lines, chemicals, bio-hazard waste, hidden ditches, etc...). There could also be dangerous chemicals in the air. For me, my lungs were burning within a minute of exploring Dardanelle, CA and I had to grab my respirator which filters out particulates and chemicals. I also stayed fairly close to SR-108, avoided power lines, read the hazard markings on the trees and kept an eye out for any moving trees around me (please note that this isn't even a guarantee as a tree can still fall with little to no warning), etc... If you choose to explore burn scars, you are doing so at your own risk and health! If you don't know what you are doing, don't risk it!
