I didn't think Wyoming would let you in the state anymore. Or maybe not let you back out. Is smuggling grisly bears still a crime even if they're family?

It rained enough here to cut the smoke.
The trick is to do 5 under on the freeway, cause a 96 powersmoke tops out at 75 and the speed limit is 85...
Not stop anywhere for more then 5 minutes.
Absolutely Do Not speak to any family.
Then get lost in the Labonte/Esterbrook canyon area scaring the war dept into a peace negotiation, nearly end up in Nebraska on dirt roads, get yer tent nearly blown away in a thunder storm, ignore said peace negotiation bow to her needs and spend the night at a Holiday Inn under one of my many aliases
Then Spend the next 12 hours tying to A make it to Idaho, and B try and find camping at night in the Craters of the Moon National park... fyi there isn't any.
But Carey ID has a wonderful campground at little wood reservoir.

Yeah, what the hell smoke was that Saturday? I never did figure out where it was coming from; winds weren't right to bring it from any of the major fires within 200 miles or so.

Hmmmm, what hasn't burned this century? West slope North Sierras, Feather or Yuba rivers maybe.

Today's issue of wildfiretoday.com has a great video of firefighters from American Samoa singing as they walk back to the CCVs. It's really inspirational. The next video was a vid of a Maori wedding where the singer/dancers perform a Haka. Watch that too!

It's gutwrenching to see neighborhood after neighborhood completely destroyed. They had 50+ MPH winds last night.

My thoughts n prayers are certainly going out for them, having survived the 03 Cedar Fire with just a lightly scorched home, and burned down garage.
There's a time to run, and a time to fight, if feasible.

Dang. That's pretty intense. What were the winds like that day?

Only the grace of God kept the winds from blowing more than three days, or it would have burned San Diego county to the beaches.
An extremely humbling and highly surreal thing to experience up close n personal.
And I had the Luck O The Irish workin overtime for me as well.
Saved the house, lost the garage, but was able to get all the motorbikes n wheelers out n away beforehand.
The fire chased my brother n I off my hill crawling on our bellies for our lives.
Took about five minutes to recoup our courage enough to work on Savin the house, and letting the detached garage burn, with all my wonderful sand paddle rims n tires.
A minor loss no doubt, but a truly harrowing three days of wind in a row.
The morning after's like waking up all red eyed n swollen to a smoking moonscape.
My sincere condolences to the families n loved ones of the souls lost in today's infernos.

On the Tubbs fire now . Wind did an incredible amnt of tree damage in the Kenwood and Glen Ellen areas, like s Hurricane aftermath ( maybe they will be able to share the Golf Trophy)
The fires just jumped all over, houses on fire all over , then some not touched, propane tanks blowing off

Have been without power or internet for most of 2 days, both came back in the last hour or so. So far we're OK but the Preserve is currently burning. Only time will tell how badly it gets hit or whether we catch a break. It appears the fire came, as all fires have in the last 100+ years at that site, from the Sonoma side. That said, the Partrick fire could also be a threat (to either home or Preserve) if the weather goes against us.
Don't know how Tyler and Bothe are faring, haven't had the resources to check. If someone knows more, please post. Also, Eccentric is in Sonoma - hope all is well with him.
