Was driving up the Feather River Canyon just as this helicopter was making it's descent to get a load of water from the Feather River to drop on the Elephant Butte fire, and was able to get my camera in time just to get this really quick video of it. I so badly wish there had been a place for me to pull over and get better video of it.
I saw this about 100 feet away when I was white water rafting in one of the forks of the American river. Really cool to see!
