FIRE IN THE WOODS


Saturday June 23, around 2 pm. View north from the upstairs window. Three bomers were dipping water from caribou lake, and dumping on this southern most fire line. By air its a mile or two from the cabin to the fire. Southern winds and some drizzley rain are holding it off for now. The area around the cabin is clear of brush so hopefully we are safe. Thanks to the hard working clan members who stepped up to help protect the "den in the woods"

That is a little to close for comfort, sorry that you had to clear cut your trees and alders, your seclusion is dimished now, but they will grwo back fast, until that time it will make good moose browse so you can sit on the porch and shoot your moose. the good thing is that that the coffee bean plants survived, they are rare in Alaska.
