Burning Vehicle

Don't worry! It wasn't our vehicle on fire. We went to a movie in Natomas a couple nights ago. We were returning back to The Lair at around 10:30pm when Matt noticed a fire near the property. At first, from far away, we thought it was an old abandoned trailer right next to the property, but as we got closer, we saw it was something in the road burning. Kareena started to worry because she thought a car had exploded and there was possibly a burning body inside. Actually, worry would be an understatement there. She started to panic and mumbled certain words as she neared. (She has seen too many t.v. shows such as CSIs and Bones and expected the worst)...

There was a moving vehicle ahead of us when we got closer to the inflamed truck. The people ahead didn't want to pass. We didn't want to either because we were afraid the vehicle would explode spontaneously as we passed. Matt got out of the truck and surveyed from afar. He talked a few moments with the people stopped in the car ahead and came to the decision that one of us should contact police to alert them of the fire. The people in the car ahead agreed to call but within a few minutes they slowly inched past the burning truck. Not sure if they called the police, Matt dialed 911 with his phone to report the roadside fire. We soon drove past the scene and pulled into the ranch. Mind you, it was a day of lots of rain, so we had to park the truck at the ranch entrance and walk a good distance in the slop to The Lair.

As we walked to The Lair - within a short couple of minutes - we witnessed the firetrucks and police cars approach the scene. It was interesting because we got to see them spray down the vehicle. Funny thing is, they were gone in no time and left the truck there overnight. The next morning we took some pictures of the burned up truck. We'll post them on here later once we load them on the computer, but we're slow. =0)

Thanks for reading "The Adventures of Matt and Kareena!" We'll also post pics of The Lair and the ranch soon. Kareena keeps trying to get pics of the beavers... We'll see what happens there!
