A sad ride through Bastrop State Park (Texas), 12/3/11, one day after the park opened for the first time since the September wildfire destroyed 95% of the in-park area of the "Lost Pines" (plus 1500 homes and thousands of acres of forest outside of the park).
an area burned but not yet cut.
an area where the main park road used to be in a tunnel under the pines; the burned trees have been cut for public safety - much more of this cutting to occur in the remainder of the park.
