Forest fire!

Yesterday when mom and I were going to Weight Watchers around 6 mom said she smelled smoke and saw a plume (she wondered if someone was doing a controlled burn). I didn't, and forgot about it till the meeting ended at 6:30. I definitely saw a big plume then, and it definitely wasn't a controlled burn. I looked on my phone at dinner and found out it was at mile 16 or 17 Chena Hot Springs Road. I wanted to go and see it, but of course they blocked the road and would impede firefighters anyway. Two Rivers Lodge was in the path of the fire, but luckily a ton of people responded and no buildings were damaged (we saw one of the firefighting planes..cool!). It definitely smelled smoky this morning (I'm weird and love that smell haha). I think forest fires are an exciting part of living here (as long as no one gets hurt or anything!)
