The Beaver Creek fire which started near our place nearly two weeks ago is being investigated as arson. I am briefly interviewed by the reporter named Rick in this Denver Channel 4 Video. (It starts with a 15 second commercial.)

Braided River from Exit Glacier
Exit Glacier received its name after it was used by the first expedition to cross the Harding Ice Field from Chernof Glacier near Homer to a glacier near Seward. The expedition took eight days in 1968. Braided rivers are formed by glaciers due to sediment deposits from the glacial run-off.

Hot Spots
The dogs and I got home this afternoon about 1:00 pm. I took this photo a few minutes later. Although it is interesting to sit on your porch and watch the helicopters drop water on the hot spots, I could have lived without the experience.
The car stays packed and the horses are at D’s until we get the all clear. This morning I learned that the truck’s crankiness was caused by mice nesting near the air filter. With a new air filter, new fuel filter, and oil change the old workhorse is almost feeling peppy.
