A couple of weeks ago I was in Red Canyon sampling from (mostly) dead bristlecone. Yesterday I was asked to return. There was a wildfire working its way up out of Newt Canyon and the incident command wanted to hold it on the ridge above Red Canyon. They wanted the crews to cut fire line from the road to Beehive Peak, but didn't want them to cut these relatively unique "old growth" trees. So, I went out with a colleague and flagged bristlecone from Willow Creek Road to the Beehive.
