The fires of Yellowstone

We are sitting in the path of a rather large fire that has consumed 9500 acres of mature lodge pole pines. The wind has not helped as the firefighters are having a hard time controlling the fire. The area is filled with smoke and the sky turned the sun and moon into a blood red color. They have set up sprinklers and barriers around the hotel, circa 1891, to save this historical site. Our trailer is in the employee RV park which we share with park service employees and park rangers. Many buildings as well as the power plant is in this location. They are saying that they may evacuate all trailers to an area on the other side of the Yellowstone River and move us all into dorms and cabins. If we are relocated it will be in the Canyons which is 15 miles north of here. The hotel and lodge still has to be closed and winterized for the winter. Our store is still open and will close on the 4th. Inventory has to be taken and all merchandise will be picked up and stored at the warehouse in Gardiner, Mt. There is the possibility that they will shut down the hotel and tell us to leave early. The full time staff in Gardiner will then come back to shut everything down. We are waiting on a huge cold front to move in tonight with temps in the teens and snow. They are expecting 2 to 4 inches of snow which would be a blessing as it would help put the fire out. We will know soon what action will be taken. The photos were taken two days ago and gives you an idea of what we are going through. The cycle is in the trailer as well as all the stuff that we plan to take back to Fl. We are ready, whatever we have to do.
