Smallish fire


We have internet again ...sorta. Things really are different in the North. The things you take as being "normal" down South are often a luxury here....internet being one of them. The trip to Tok, one current location was MUCH smoother, road wise, once we cross into Alaska. The rebuilt a large portion of the highway from the border to Tok in the last 2 years. Our stay here will be for 3 nights which started last night, Wednesday. There is a forest fire going on at the moment, about 10-12 mile west of here. The evacuated a village last night as a safety precaution. It covers about 2,000 acres and jumped the highway to burn another 20 . It is still burning at 2:00 Alaska time, which is 4:00 Shelburne time, but under control. We took a drive over there and that is what the pics are of. I will try to copy and paste an email which was sent to some for pre..vious updates.
