| I'm still home. We have 3 big sprinklers set up now. And hose. The fire has mostly moved north of us on the ridge. But there is some of it still above us and slightly south and that part is flanking down some. It is creeping down the mountain slowly. It will eventually get to the road. We are across the road. The rain predicted has decreased and I'm not sure we will even get that much if any. :( I'm praying that god sends a big cloud of rain and it pours. I know he is in control of the situation, No matter what happens. I know he will see us through this. We are in a pretty good spot which is why we've waited it out. I'm so ready for this to be over! My nerves are shot. thank you all for your continued prayers and support. If I could give you all a hug I would! yes I pray for all the others in other parts of the world dealing with other disasters as well. Don't give up.  |

| Thought i'd give you an update. they are slow to get us hand crews. we finally got water drops/air support yesterday! the first day through all this crap. so that helped bc the fire was getting hotter yesterday. The fire on the ridge above our place is backing down the ridge but slowly so far. But things were heating up yesterday and i'm so glad that air support showed up. They keep slowly hacking away at this fire I wish they would hit it hard and get it out, mop up and move to the next place, instead of stretching out the resouces so thin that just a little part of the fire actually gets put out! ugh! praying for more hand crews to show up and rain! and no wind events. Thank you all   oh and i'm still doctoring the horse with the injured heel bulb. I got equaide and i'm on my 5th day of using that. Its looking better. Thankfully they used usps to ship it so I could get that delivered. lol. I am adding pics to the linked photo album in that post if you want to check out the progress.

          Location: 31 lengths farms | Cal Fire has been stretched so thin and the Forest Service is a not prepared to fight fires at this level. We lost all 3 of our families little hunting cabins in this fire. They weren't much but they were a link to my dad and my mom for our family, complete with log books of stays at the cabin and the family tradition of names, dates and height marked on the post near the fire place. This year has been devastating for so many and made more so by some really bad choices like Cal Fire pulling all the crews off this fire up near Saddle Camp and sending them south hoping that the dozer lines from last year would be enough to stop it. Hoping and praying that they get some more air support in there and hand crews too before this weekend, it is supposed to get hot again temp wise and the North wind is supposed to kick up. |

          Location: 31 lengths farms | We were just one of the many families that lost cabin's up that way and thankfully for most part they were "just cAbins" and not our year round homes. I pray Camocowgirl's home is safe as is her livestock!!!! |
