Another Day and A Finish
We are still on evacuation alert, but I don’t have any updated maps. The smoke is still too thick for them to get good photos to map it out. It was another day of watching helicopters and timing their runs, taking photos of these amazing pilots. Their job is hindered by the people rafting andContinueContinue reading “Another Day and A Finish”

They were going to evacuation sheltersContinueContinue reading “Quilts for Wildfire Victims”

Quilts for Lytton
