Our little HEAVEN ON FIRE!

Oh it is so sad to see these pictures. Our favorite place on earth is not quite under fire but it's too close for comfort. As of August 7 the Rocky Bar road at Pine-Featherville has been closed. Rocky Bar is the last fork in the road that we take to drive up to the Ranch. This is one road that we will not be taking anymore this year. Luckily we already made our once a year trip up to Atlanta back in July. 

We hope that the forest fire will be controlled and we pray for the  residents of Atlanta, for their homes and town.
