How could I forget...

August 27, 2010
Hermosa, SD

...the excitement we had near the RV Park today? Old age, I guess...

Anyway, we had some thunderstorms pass by this afternoon, and ended up with a brush fire on a ridge about a mile away from the Park. We watch a lot of TV from Los Angeles as we travel, so we're probably more sensitized to the impact of fires. The wind shifted a few times during the afternoon, but didn't drive the fire in our direction. They brought in firefighters from as far away as Black Hawk and Wall late in the day, and there was a water-dropping helicopter circling at dusk, so it's probably all right now, but the smell of smoke was disconcerting to say the least...
