Let's hope they get a handle on that thing, and it doesn't cause issues with Plymouth. Summer has already been a bummer. No sun for well over a month. Power out with temps at 116 degrees and now for another three days without power and A/C. Was looking forward to just a little joy this summer....

This is our place yesterday. Looks like nuclear winter with the tracks in the ash from my wife's morning walk with the dogs.

Just so readers don't get cornfused, Zeph lives four hours north of Plymouth. Different fires.

On the Camp Plymouth 2021 Facebook page, Nancy Porter said there might be some evacuated furry animals sharing the fairgrounds with us. If so, Melissa Jones won't be the only Furry at the meet!
