DH and I have been watching the progress of a large, lightening-caused forest fire up in the cabin area. The Forest Service has just been letting it burn to clear out some old, dead timber, which was fine as long as it was 17 miles away. But with some healthy winds this week, it has traveled cross country in a hurry. We talked to the builder last night and has said the FS stopped by yesterday to let him know their "goal" was not to let it get to the private property where the cabin is located.
2 years in the building....it's almost finished....wouldn't you just know? Anyway, we're really hoping the wind will die down up there and hopefully the FS can get enough of a handle on it that we won't lose it. We're headed up there tomorrow to take some light fixtures up and spend a couple of days. So if you can think some good thoughts, we'd appreciate it.
Good thoughts and prayers your way!
Please keep us posted!

Wishing for no wind and maybe even some helpful (non lightening) rain.
