The fires that are close to us seem to be under control now that the wind has died down. I have ashes falling over the place here at my house and the smoke it setting right on us, it smells like a camp fire! If anyone else needs any help please feel free to give me a yell.

Glad to see your safe so far Joe. We have a new flare up about a mile west of us right now. Lots of aircraft in the sky. All the helicopters sounds like Vietman around here. Some passing a hundred feet over the roof of the house.
Gonna get on horseback in a couple of hours from now and recon the area. The news is reporting about 32 homes destroyed a couple of miles east of us.

I hope Grippy's house survived............

Stay safe and keep us posted. The mandatory evacuation for Grippy's house was lifted and from what I see on the news his house should be okay. These fires just keep jumping all over the place.

That's the hair raising part of these wildfires. One hour your dancing, the next your biting your nails and praying that your house isn't going to go up like a roman candle. Then with a little luck and the courageous help of the fire fighters your dancing again.

This has been one of the most inpredictable fire seasons I can ever remember.

I'm praying Grippy's house survives. Tonight should tell the tale.
