This has been a summer from hell quite literately. Too hot and too dry. I'm very happy you were not burned out. But your home area certainly has been affected by the wildfire. Way too close for comfort. We've had over a dozen wildfires here in Colorado. The July monsoons have helped contain the fires. We need more rain. 90% of Colorado is in drought.

So we are going to a Rocky Mountain vintage Airstream rally this weekend. It is in Ridgeway in the southwest part of the state where the drought and fires are bad. I'm hoping for a break in the weather. And I hope we have a long, snowy winter. Much better than this hot, dry stuff.

We can home Sunday via hwy 36 from Fortuna then the back road from Platina through Ono and Igo into Redding . We took our time and let people pass , it took 4.5 hours to go 134 miles we averaged 33 mph and it was a pleasant Sunday drive.

Monday evening we toured West Redding . As the fire raced into town taking a thousand homes in its path . It went through your old neighborhood leaving just four homes at your end including yours . The rest are gone.

Only two homes in Keswick remain, and “we” lost another Airstream there also.

Only a few homes remain in Lake Keswick Estates the rest gone.

Oh the devastation ! The loss of life ! The area will never be the same .

Horrible, horrible wildfire. We all need to band together and help the folks burned out. It will take years to rebuild lives and homes. Never start, never finish.
