A little spark

It only takes a spark... too-oo get a fire go-oo-ing...
(That's for my sister, who will now be singing this song from our childhood... All.day.long. :-)

Back at the end of deer season, Kevin and some of his buddies went for one last weekend of hunting. Kevin did not realize that, as he was riding out to the deer stand, a bit of brush had gotten caught underneath his 4 wheeler... and then a bit more brush got caught on that... and so forth... and somehow the little nest got so hot it ignited! Thankfully our friend John saw the smoke and flames and hollered to Kevin "Your leg is on fire!" Kevin hopped off and rescued his guns and gear first of course... then determined his leg was not on fire... but his ride was. 

Minutes later this is what he had...

Kevin was getting ready to sell this particular vehicle and buy something different for next season that was a bit more quiet.  :-/

The miraculous thing was that the SEVERE drought in this area had been doused by a few inches of snow just days before.  Had this event happened on any other weekend during deer season Kevin's 4-wheeler might have set the whole county on fire!
