There have been fires every year, but this one is pretty close to home.

According to GoogleEarth, it is about 5 miles away, down Black Cat Gulch. I don't think we're in much danger, but there is a chance. If this fire were to burn along the crest of the mountain it is on, it would come right to us.
We have started working on our evacuation plan, but it is really hard to know how far to take it. Should we start trucking horses off the mountain, or just load all our keepsakes into the truck? We've had numerous offers of assistance, for which I am very grateful. With our three-horse trailer, it would take something like 8 trips to get all the horses down to the evacuation site in Arlee. Luckily we have lots of good friends with horse trailers, so I think we can get it done much faster.
There isn't much else to report right now, but fear not, we are all well

Dave has no time to tell his fans that they have had to evacuate the ranch. They were able to get the horses, most of the other animals and all the people and important stuff down the mountain into Missoula where they are staying in a house that is empty and for sale, that belongs to wife C's sister and her husband. there is electricity and running water, and little else.
