Yesterday was a very windy day. The fires had been started the previous day by lightning strikes. All in all we had about 3000 acres burn. If the wind doesn't pick up tonight, it will probably be over. We were never at risk, but as you can see by the picture on the right, we had good viewing last night. We have had this happen two or three times since we've been here. The far side of the river is the Yakima firing range. They believe in the let burn policy. Because of that the road south out of here was closed last night and is still closed this morning. We have heard from Jim and Kathleen and they have found an apartment with a view. Needs some kitchen work, which will give Jim something to do. Cindy came yesterday with Kady, Jim and Kathleen's dog. We are enjoying a beautiful day with no wind. It's about 80 degrees and we love it. Will write more when information is available. Left click on the fire picture to see the interesting effect of the digital camera.
