Well by the time the fire damaged land starts producing the market is back!
Went through loss from the Wolf Creek fire years ago but the fur eventually came back better! They saved my cabin also!
Good Luck!
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Yep, it got a little close to Saint Mary's, the wife and kids flew to family in Napakiak so I didn't have to worry about them, I helped clear brush around town, had the boat loaded with camping gear, valuables, and gassed up, but it never did get close enough to evacuate. Once a slew of firefighters flew in, and the wind changed, by the 15th it was under control pretty much. With the rain we just had, we are pretty good now. Thank God. Thanks for y'all's prayers. The fire is supposed to have burned over 170,000 acres so far.

Thought the rainbow in the first rain on the fire was neat, reminder God is in control.

The girlfriend is headed to Tanana Saturday to work in dispatch there. I assume they must have a remote dispatch center there. I think it will be a little more of a "rustic" setting than she is used to and they mentioned she will be staying in a "barracks". She doesn't know how spoiled she has been.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Didn't know they had a dispatch in Tanana. Must be temporary as that area does have several large fires. Might be rustic alright. Right on the yukon R. Maybe you should go, 160. You could meet all the "Yukon men"!

Thanks for the pictures, the fire was real close by the looks of things. Were any of the other villages near by affected? I wasn't in that area for much of my life but it's one of the best places I've ever visited as far as scenery goes. Curious to see how the moose hunting goes. With fire comes new life.

I hope you guys get some rain soon.
