Oh, yeah. That too! Looking forward to getting to meet Steve, SoCal Chapter leader tomorrow. He's on his way through, heading to the ATN's in Pennsylvania. Going to take him and his missus out to breakfast tomorrow.

It's kind of neat when you get to put faces to names. Say hello for me.

I'll do that. I'll get a pic of us together also. I really wish I could have gone to the ATN's this year. Funds just wouldn't allow it. Maybe next year.

I know what you are saying. Sometimes funds and life get in the way of the good stuff.

Ya there are quite a few in the area. Not really close but when the wind is blowing the right direction it comes in.

It's really dry here right now. Fines for fires ($345.00) and are asking people to stay out of the back country. I'm sure a ban will be coming soon to keep folks out of the bush.

We have been hot and dry other than a couple thunderstorms for probably a month and a half at least. We really need a couple days of steady drizzle to soak things down. The down pours we had with the thunder showers were fairly heavy rain, it just ran off so it wasn't much help.

It's been from the mid to high 80's up to a little over 100 a couple days last week.

Evening all!! fighting with fires up here. one 3 km's from my work, so we're on " get ready to leave" mode. Making a bigger firebreak around the camp tomorrow. Worked all weekend and maybe this one coming. One of my roads is closed to everyone except commercial vehicles. Got some pics taken, but will have to wait to download at home...if i ever get back I see you BC guys are having the same fun.
