Was looking out the window yesterday and saw what looked like smoke. In a Nano second I knew I was right. I called Ty down and had him run over closer to the fire to verify it was not some neighbor burning trash. It wasn’t. I dialed 911 and let them know and about 5 minutes later the firefighters started to show up. It was a long 5 minutes. The fire burned only about an acre but could have been much worse. Lucky I was home. It was a tractor from the county with a mower attachment that created a spark and caused the fire. I saw it all happen. It took about 3 hours for it to be cleaned up. They cut down every sage brush bush there was until nothing was left but a lot of black dirt. Scary.
Today Ty has in person school. Lori is home and I’m home too. The colors are changing here with yellows and golds spreading fast. Should be peaking this weekend or next week for sure. We leave Saturday and will be in Jackson Wyoming Saturday might before rolling into Idaho Sunday. Sure would be nice to have a place up there. We’re scouring the internet daily and I have a buddy who is a real estate broker out of Jackson watching for great deals. Unfourtanetly it seems the entire Country wants to buy property in Idaho, Wyoming, Montana or Colorado. Can’t blame them.
Here’s 20 acres for under $160K about 45 minutes from Jackson Hole in Idaho. Idaho is also the lowest in the nation for taxes! Be great to have a small cabin or something there. We’d like something with water but that’s much more expensive. Just looking. I’d like to have a small piece of land somewhere for the boys. The Teton’s sure are beautiful too. Fishing and hunting is good and the soil is fertile and best of all, the people all get along.
This is the path we walk the dogs on a few times a day. You can see where the mower cut the grass along the edge and that’s where the fire started. Fire moves quick!
Time to go. Leave it to Beaver is on! I also just watched My Three Sons. They should make all these protestors watch these kind of shows. God Bless.
