This was just the beginning of our troubles.
Friends,
You may have heard that we’re having a little hubbub up here. Due to an inconvenience we like to call the Mountain Fire, encroaching on our pristine and very piney paradise, authorities asked everyone to evacuate last evening.
Reflecting back, maybe “ask” is the wrong word.
I have found shelter at a location very near the Festival of Dirt where I could see flames running up to the ridgeline this morning. Not very comforting at all.
I’ll try to keep you posted here as events unfold, but for more up-to-date news, I’m sharing other people’s posts on Facebook. Maps, photos, pessimism, it’s all there!
Stay safe.
Your pal,
