A plane dumping fire retardant on a hill outside Twisp
Amanda, Tom and the little girlies are camped out with friends and staying in the Valley-- at least for now. Cell phone calls have been few and far between, but everyone is doing OK. There haven't been any structures burned in Twisp, which is very good news. But there's no sugar-coating the bad news: The Bureau of Land Management says the Carlton Complex - 215,000 acres and zero percent contained - is currently the nation's top priority fire.
It's been hard to get current information, even for Internet news-hounds like us. The disconcerting truth is, the situation is changing constantly.
Making it even more surreal, we're at Ocean Shores. It's been foggy and raining all day, and in fact we can hardly see the ocean from our room. But last night we took "Little Beep" on a five-mile joy ride down the beach. How many places left in the country where you can (legally) do something as fun as that?
I've also been eating as much fattening seafood as possible. Crab Cake Egg Benedict for breakfast makes me feel happy and optimistic.
