The Place

There is rain!
And Deer!

We return not yet
the road is not clear

But it will be soon
hopefully before the next blue moon

Travel Plans

I travel back with mixed emotions.
I am excited to go back to the place, I am excited for winter and snow.
In one month I have moved my office 5 times. Sleeping arrangements have ranged from having my own room, having a roommate and sleeping in a church sanctuary. Tonight I may camp out in a tent on the lawn near the lake.

Luckily the weather has cooled, and there is snow in the mountains. The smoke has cleared. The only trepidation is the condition of the road. There is one road leading to the place I live. If it rains there is possibility of road wash out since the trees that were once there are now gone. I am going, and it is going to be okay. They have told those with any medical appointments or ailing relatives to delay their return.

Honestly I am not excited about seeing a different mountain. I have seen pictures and things actually look and appear much better than first anticipated.

So with mixed emotions, my vehicle is packed and I am hitting the road. Saying goodbye to my family and friends a second time kind of sucks. I will still have internet and will still be here, I am just saying good bye to my friends that are here in town again.

P.S. I am also missing David Lynch in North Bend. DAMMIT! LOL I wish I were here for the filming.
Maybe I should have got a job with Twin Peaks instead!
 
I want to upload pictures to you! This is driving me crazy that I cannot share here.

I am glad I came out here last night. I slept in a tent, it was peaceful. I watched the moon rise up over the mountains, I listened to the night bugs and watched smoldering camp size fires on the hill side across from us. (that are not dangerous at this point)
 
I can't wait!
(For the parade)

Made it back!
Good to be back.
More later!
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'm glad the crisis is over and you are back home.

Me too.

There is still a lot of work ahead and a lot of clean up to do. I am thankful that it was not worse, and I have sorrow for those that are not here as a result of the fires this year.
 
After a month of being here I have said goodbye to so many people! We are being warned about avalanche danger, and flood danger because of the weakened hill sides.
I guess it makes me laugh when I share these things because I know my family is done hearing about it. Maybe I am stuck in a world.

The real reason I am writing this morning is a gaming friend of mine on FB said, "Maybe I can come up on the weekends and play Halo with you" After I said there was not the capability of playing "online". (Halo 5 is coming out)

A weekend up here is 4 days.

Winter months the traveling up and down the mountain is reduced to 3 times a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

I don't know how to explain where I am anymore, so I just don't.

On Wednesdays two of us share a story from our summer. Most of the stories are centered around evacuation. I will be sharing my story next Wednesday. At first I did not want to. I want to be done talking about it. But I want to find some positive reason to share the story with most who also went through the same thing.
There are some new people here, so they don't know, but I want to make it relevant and positive, not just whining and "poor me".

Winter up here will be interesting. There will be fewer people, no guests. I don't know what to think. I have nothing to compare it with. There is talk that we could be stuck up here for a month or so if a large avalanche happens. Small avalanches happen all the time on the road, and are cleared easily.
it doesn't really bother me to think about being stuck up here. I have food, I don't need medicines I can't live without, I think I will be okay. I have no reason to worry about things I cannot see.

The most awesome thing about this time is all of the deer. Last night I counted 13 or 14 in the same area. They are so cute!
