Hey guys, thanks so much.... Out place is fine at the moment, it got awful dang close. Us and 3 awesome BLM guys kept it at bay in the cottonwoods about 160 yards from the house. I have been disking most of the afternoon because it may double back across the river... Between this side of the Musselshell and over in Garfield co, it is up to 200,000 acres and chugging on every second..
I will hang some pics later.....
Ben Thank God.

After being at curmans place, and seeing Ben's FB pics I know just how close that fire came. I'm wondering how the neighbor just across the fence fared. It ain't over yet....

The curman's home is in danger of being consumed by a ginormous wild fire.
So all you guy's that like to pray, should pray.
Thanks,
Travis Any word? I made Reubens and got slightly drunk. The curman's seemed to have pulled through. Dave

Haha! Good in both cases.
We went through Winnet one time to fight fire up near Dove Tail. We made fire camp at the Dove Tail school.
My engine boss stopped in Winnet to buy some stuff and use the bathroom. We had just come from Lewistown and I know he used the can before we left.
Worried, I asked him if he was sick or something, he said no.....you just never, ever pass up the opportunity to use a flush toilet when you are fighting fire.
Glad the Curmans are in good shape for the evening.
I am MAGA.

I hate looking at the aftermath of a forest/brush fire but I'm sure glad you're all safe Ben.

I'm glad your place survived Ben. Big fires wiped out a lot of my county and the adjoining one two summers ago. It was tough to watch, and even tougher for the owners.

Glad the Curmans are in good shape for the evening. Similar to my boss' rule when we're traveling "first rule is never pass up free coffee or a bathroom" Glad to hear the fire has been diverted for now.

Jim if you would have kept going straight from Dovetail school, about 23 miles later you would be at my place... Don, none of the places here in the bottom have been burned.... It was about ten yards from the two at the base of the hill. Last night was crazy to watch, it was wanting to jump the road across the river but they were backburning it. We aint out of the woods yet but with every bit that burns, we get safer I guess? Laffin. Thanks guys
Ben

That is good news!
Prayers continue form here for all the folks facing this fire.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Whew! Good news.
I prayed hard, with some recent incentive: Last week a good friend of mine lost his house burned to the ground in a forest fire west of Williams Lake, BC. He and his wife stayed on and kept fighting the fire with ranchers and nearby Rez folks to save other houses and barns.
