Like the hurricanes affecting Gulf Coast states, Montana’s version of natural disaster comes every summer, all too often to the Bitterroot National Forest. This year we missed a big mean bullet by a cat’s whisker <<. Interestingly, not a single structure has been damaged in this 26,000 acre fire that is still going strong.
Of course, that could all change tomorrow, or even tonight. There’s dry lightnin’ in the sky…

Today a dry lightning storm blew through and started a few fires within a mile or so of our house. The Forest Service flew into action and got them put out within a couple of ours. It’s stuff like this that makes living in the forest a crapshoot…one spark can ruin your whole, uh, day.
