Continued from part 1!
Up the hill into Pacheco Pass on CA-152. Two months ago this was all bright green grass, now it is dry and dangerous. The traffic was stopped about this point when I went back in two days - a fire was charring the hillside, being doused by four fire trucks and about twenty fire fighters. I suspect someone threw out a cigarette. Lots of these black rain clouds around, but no rain.
Further up the road there are fewer clouds, but for this time of year San Luis Reservoir is lacking water, so rain would be welcome.
Over the top of the Pass and down to the valley on the west where the row crops are growing abundantly on the water imported from the Sacramento Delta and the aqueduct system.
