2013 Trip
It's 3 days before the guys leave and we found out several days ago that Alaska has severe wild fires going on throughout the state. The report I read said only the coastal areas were safe. Dave called and I could hear George talking and saying his usual, "It'll be fine." I have to say those words kind of chap me when something serious is going on and I hear, "It'll be fine." Soo... when he got off the phone I asked him where the fire was. He didn't know. I looked it up on line and guess what? The fire is raging just about 3 miles south of their place. It's called the Moore Creek fire and you remember Moore Creek is the gold camp just 3 miles from them. This where they landand then go one at a time to their camp because their runway isn't long enough to carry 3 people. George became a little more interested and we began talking about a plan B since there is a strong possibility this fire is on it's way. There is a possibility of rain in about a week but the report said it wasn't going to be enough to stop the fires. Moore Creek fire is the largest in the nation and has burnt some 112,000 acres as of June 20 and now 118,000 on the 21st. Teorge is an amazing guy and not a worrier. I do enough for both of us. I'm searching and planning and asking all the questions and I know Dave is doing the same. These guys have thousands of dollars invested in equipment and just built their beautiful tim condo last year. I am putting a map of where the fires are and an arrow whene their camp is.
