I just got back from camp with my oldest. The first night
he was up, before I got there, there was a lightning strike
at the camp. About 2.5 miles from his site. We hiked up
there on Thursday. About 1 1/2 acres are burnt. Very
little rain, and a State wide fire ban. Made for a very
different campfire.
Glad your ok Barney. Makes me feel like I should pagesuck
your site and archive it somewhere. :-)
