Well, they think at this time the evacuation does not include us. It includes subdivisions to the left of us and behind us and on east. Dan finally called the Sheriff's department because of the conflicting reports. They said we aren't included in this evacuation but it could still change at a moments notice.

We have a lot of ash in our yard and in the air at this time.

The scary thing is that we have no wind at this time and it has still spread so fast. Today, the wind is expected to pick up to approx 40mph. We will just keep a watchful eye and hope the extra support personnel arrive in a timely manner.

We are supposed to have two helicopters and two slurry bombers fighting the fire this morning, but they are not in the air yet.

They have evacuation centers set up at the College in the gym. Not sure if that is where we will be going if if comes down to that.

Dan is really leaning toward packing some things up, just in case. The problem is, where in the world do you start? I guess pictures always come to mind.

We will keep everyone posted. The Casper community is a very giving community and everyone is banding together to find places for horses, cattle, goats, etc, etc.
