Fire Update

OK, now it's Friday morning and things might be just slightly better here today. The fire fighting efforts have been fairly successful and the weather has been fairly cooperative. There is a little less smoke today but we are still in an "immediate threat evacuation zone". We are a little more positive today but it has been hard to deal with the constant smoke and putting your life on hold and we're not out of the woods yet. Until a fire is out there is always the danger of conditions changing and things getting out of hand rapidly. I am anxious for the threat to subside so we can finish getting ready and go. I could be using this time to finish packing the trailer but the trailer is not here.

I would like to post some pictures of the fire but I don't have any. First, all we have ever been able to see is smoke. Second, to get to any vantage point to take pictures requires traveling through evacuated neighborhoods, a big no no!
