Fire in the distance.
We have decided to stay here for a few days and just take it easy, town is close by so we have re-filled our two propane tanks at $25.00 each, you drop them off at the hardware store, they take them to be filled at the propane terminal, later the same day you pick them up again. We have also been walking around town, grocery shopping etc., we have been finishing the exterior wood work on the boat, it’s been a few years since it was last done. Another weather front came thru with wind, rain etc., nothing serious, just enough to mess up the finish we had just applied. There’s been a ground fire burning for about a week now and they can’t seem to contain it, it keeps popping up at various places, no one has been injured but there has been property damage with fuel tanks exploding etc., everything has been so dry that it doesn’t take much for a fire to start, when the wind is just right the ash comes raining down on top of us, sometimes it’s like a fog the smoke is so thick, we are going to leave tomorrow to put some distance between the fire and us.
