Fire Season in California 2008



Here we are almost in the middle of July and we've not been able to plan an outing because of the fires and smoke. On the 4th we were really thankful for one beautiful day - for one day we were fortunate enough to see blue skies. It's our hope to try golfing this year and we'd like to see a River Cats game and for Leisure Lee's birthday we wanted to go fishing at our favorite fishing spot, French Meadows (the lake is 80 feet below normal) and there are so many restrictions on camping, and most likely it's not safe to even be near the woods because of the fires. I just heard on the news that the National Guard has been called to help with the fires because our firefighters are stretched to their limits. I can't imagine how it would be to work on a fire line and never see the end in sight or, how people are coping with being evacuated from their homes. My friend Mo's mom lives in Paradise and she was evacuated yesterday. My heart goes out to all these folks!
