He said on their first trip they found an old generator that the test crew from the 80's had left behind. Well guess what? The got that old generator working and it is running great. They are using it for heat. Now that it's raining the temperature is more like Alaska and it's cold. He said they are still happy and laughing but they are a little bored because they can't get to the river. Sounds like the highlight of their day was burning the trash. I gave him the weather report for the next week and the forecast is rain every day except Tuesday. That wasn't good news to George but I have to think it's great news for the fire fighters. The fires have to be out and the guys are getting some much needed rest. Since George is the cook, this will give him some menu planning time. Dave can't boil water and George doesn't cook a lick at home but he turns into this fantastic cook up there. Peels and fries potatoes, opens cans, and even washes the dishes. Anyone that knows George, knows his favorite meal is Spam. Dave was pretty leery last year but learned the joys of Spam. My goal is to find a Spam cook book. I hear they even have Spam museums. I'm sure computer geeks don't have a clue what I'm talking about.
I also got an email from Al and Cleta at Moore Creek. She reported the rain and said the couldn't smell the smoke either. Cleta said the smoke looked bad up their way yesterday and it really got close to them. One finger of the fire was just over the hill. She said the Forest Service said their was no problem with it coming down the hill but it's the ash they worry about. So thank God for the rain.
