Fire in the Owyhees

The Soda fire in the Owyhees made life miserable for a couple of weeks. It burned over 200,000 acres in a short amount of time.

Here is a photo of the smoke Karen took from our backyard.
 
I took a picture at night which shows just how much the fire was glowing. The Owyhees are well below the skyline from our view, but the gigantic flames were putting out lots of light.
A couple of years ago I drove up on the hill to look at a small fire in the same area. I forgot Elena was in the backseat, so when I noticed the fire was in one of my favorite hunting spots she learned a new word.

Fast forward two years... I was at the computer looking at the fire perimeter map. Marcus was playing on the floor behind me. He got up, pointed to the computer, and said, "Oh I see the f... daddy! It's right there!"
