Thanks for posting that, Darren I called my cousin who lives north of Tom and while I cant remember the name of her town at the moment, she said she was 50 miles almost due north of Boise and it wasn't a problem except for the air pollution. 50 miles from a forest fire doesn't look nearly far

Many thanks to all for the thoughts, wishes, and prayers. We had the official all clear around 9:00 AM Thursday. The fire's not out, just sufficiently contained where it's not running unbounded, posing a threat to property. The closest it got was about a mile from us as it was cresting a ridge.
