Area 442
 

Well, Area 442's cover has been blown... :eek:
We made national news this AM!
Have a bad fire just to the south of us.
I-95 and US-1 are closed. It is making things a
little un-easy here... [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I will keep you posted if I need anyone and everyone
with a trailer hitch on your vehicle!!!!

I saw the news last night and thought about area 442 being affected. I Hope the fires stay away from your home!!!!

Re: Area 442
 

What do you say from over 1,500 miles away but be safe Ken and good luck

Re: Area 442
 

As someone who has run a class 3&5 Wildland Engines I always liked the fact that you a the pond and defensible space at area 442.

Remember if you think it's time to leave you should have been gone an hour ago.

Good luck praying for everyone

PRAYING FOR RAIN FOR YOU! Be safe!

Re: Area 442
 

Thanks to all for the support!!!!
The worst is over for now.
We did get a quick rain after I made the post this
morning. :D Then the wind changed direction pushing the
fire into the same way it had come.. :cool:

It was only 5 miles south of the homestead.
Had a sleepless night with this bad boy!

See ya, Ken

Good Luck, Ken.

Sometimes cold fronts are your friends, and some of us to the south. Brought back bitsamonkey and the copter.

Cheers,
Sandy

Re: Area 442
 

I was hoping the rain and the north wind was working in your favor. Hopefully the scare is over for you, but I'm still on standby if you need anything.

This isn't your typical website of common interest. It isn't even a club for most of us. It's more like a brotherhood and as Martha would ssy, "It's a GOOD thing!!!!"

I am glad to hear the danger is passed for the moment and that we pray for you just like we pray for all our brothers here. God Bless you Ken; God Bless you one and all.

Re: Area 442
 

Glad to hear you and the SeaMaster were spared!

Re: Area 442
 

I cannot thank all of you enough!!!!

Even though many of us have never met in person
the show of support was overwhelming. As Biglew says, we are truly a family here.... :)
My phone rang off the hook today with "how can I help"!!

This was a blast from the past in 1998 when
fires were all over the state..

It is bed time for Bonzo now.. this old man is whipped!

Thanks again and may God Bless all of you!!

Sincerely, Ken

Re: Area 442
 

Good to hear the fire risk is gone hopefully! I would be glad to hold your 20 over here :D

Re: Area 442
 

Ken,

Have hitch, will travel! Give me a holler if it flares up again and you need help saving the fleet! Denny

Re: Area 442
 

I have first dibs on the Seamaster. I bet they give me three lane`s clearance with my weenie Sonoma.

I still get a kick out of watching security at the ramps. They elbow each other as if to say hey watch this, he`s going to try to pull out the Slacker with THAT.

When`s the glassin` party? The weather is just about perfect.

Cheers,
Sandy

Re: Area 442
 

Holy cow Ken!!!! I've got to keep up with this stuff!!! Been helping my brother re-model his new office for the last week or so and the world has kinda passed me by, as if that's a big surprise, 'cause I'm always bringing up the rear. Anyway I trust all is well and Miss Patti gave you a nice back rub before sleepy time!! :o

Ken, Glad to see the compound remains green, the Seamaster and TSunami red and the 20 white...Scary stuff... On the other hand it was pretty funny seeing all those dually trucks lined up to help you out. I was in the 95 white Dodge Club Cab...I had called dibs on the red 27 :D :D :D

Reminded me of trying to get my newly purchased Seafari out of Fillmore Canyon before they closed the road @ I-5 a few years back...

Glad the burn turned away and gave the 27 another Reprieve. ;)
