By July 24, it looked like the fire was getting contained and after speaking with Tim, we made the decision to head to the Valley. The upper Valley (i.e., north of Winthrop) was spared from the fire for the time being. Power was still out when we got there, but things were starting to get back to normal. Tim and Co. were back to work and making progress. The windows and roof look great.
With the windows in, the house was insulated.
The metal and wood siding are next, along with the cement pour for the main level.
In between hanging out at the house and lounging at the campsite, we did a little hiking. We hiked up to the Goat Mountain Lookout and met for the first time Lightning Bill (as he's known by the locals). He showed us how he spots fires and reads the smoke to pinpoint it's location. It was super cool. We're very thankful to have him watching the woods this fire season. Below are a few shots of what felt like the top of the world.
