Good news . . . we have had rain, blessed moisture, and the fire danger here in our forest is diminished. I trust that the same weather pattern is prevalent in the Gila.
Not so good news . . . Mrs. BD cannot attend this time. She has been offered a unique opportunity to participate in an international event in mid-August in New York City and will be preparing for her presentation rather than enjoying herself at the Campfire gathering. I will still be bringing eggs, brownies, coffee, table, chairs and such, just without the travel trailer and the dogs.
I expect to arrive Thursday evening and look forward to seeing valued friends.
