Kasey wrote to me because she stumbled upon my blog the day I posted photos of the fire. Her husband works for the forestry service and is still stationed at the Cascade Complex Fire Camp, though my husband has left and is headed home. She sent me this link this morning to a photo report of what happened at their camp. www.wildlandfire.com/docs/2007/id-bof-cascade-icp-burn-by.pdf Camp Burnover Photos
Steve is in the bottom right hand corner of page #9’s photo. He has the red bandana around his neck and some way, way, waaaaay too long hair as he needed a haircut when he left a month prior to this photo! His commercial laundry rig is shown on page #18 with the fire burning above and beyond it. Steve was guarding the water bladders (the big balloon-like blobs on the ground) because if they were burned through by embers they would be out of business instantly.
My sweetie is heading home today, but could still be diverted at a moment’s notice… I have my fingers and toes crossed! Our daughter and son-in-law may come up this weekend after all so it would be a double blessing! Throw up a quick one for us, but as always, what God has planned will be fine with us.
THE PROVERB OF THE DAY: Proverbs 21:3,5 To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice… The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
Wow I am glad you got to spot him in some of these pictures! I haven’t seen David but if I do I will let you know.

Maybe by some odd chance him and David met… That would be soooo neat his name is David Pafford, Some people call him Dave.
It will be so exciting for you to have him home. I hope that nothing happens to spoil the homecoming.
prayers coming for you and Steve that you will be reunited if God wills. Otherwise prayers for support as the separation continues.
So glad your sweetie is headed home safe and sound.
I am glad he is safe and heading home to you.
Lora
Glad you’re on your way to pick him up! I know you can’t wait to get him home.
Counting my Blessings and praying for those who are fighting these horrible fires.
It must have been very scary to be there during that time 🙁 I can only imagine what the roar of the fire sounded like.
Hopw he doesn’t have to go back.
