There will be more coming. The fire has now swept over the entire hillside that you can view from my living room window. We spent quite a bit of the time up on the hill behind us with Amy and Jeff. I've taken over 350 pictures, but bedtime for me tonight. Check back tomorrow for more photos of the fire and its aftermath.

Wildfire Excitement

Our first wildfires of Okanogan. It really seems like we are surrounded right now. The fire siren went went off three times in about 30 minutes starting around 7pm. There is one fire south near Malott on Rattlesnake Butte, one just up the hill from us near Glover Lane and two on the reservation, apparently all from lightening strikes. From our back porch we watched one of them crest the hill. It's now so smoky that you can't even see the hillside. The fires are just a bit of encouragement to buy a house in town.
