(meteorobs) 24-25/10/03 Report - Mojave Desert, CA USA



Hello again!
   Here is report 2 of 2. If the original posts did somehow make it to you and these are annoying re-submissions please accept my apology. I haven't received Meteorobs emails in a few days now including these original report postings so I don't know what is happening. Must be the solar flares.
Please reply... if you even get these!
Clear skies,
-SID!

Remarks:

Hello,
   I feel lucky that the forest fires aren't darkening my sky since I live near the Sequoia Nat'l Forest on the Kern & San Bernadino county line. However, just about every weekend there's a new fire out here because 'city slickers' come out to camp and carelessly burn down the hills.
   Sheesh... I sound like an old curmudgeon. I'll shut up now.
Clear skies to you all.
-SID!
