I was wondering how you and the other local members came through after I talked to the family down there. Glad to hear your OK.
Last I heard everybody I know is ok with the exceptions of my cousin in Paso and my uncles cabin on Running Deer Ranch. No reports yet.
Take care up there you guys. We're thinking about you here in the 805. Sorry to hear about the fatalities, It's to bad around this time of year. A risk we all take living here I suppose.
