What is want to know is if Bill got the rest of his stuff back, or was that your cooler causing that heavy black smoke over the hill for a few minutes?

Nope, they let me back up the hill about 4 PM. The fire didn't jump the road, though it did blow around behind the range a bit. I retrieved everything, all in good shape. We would have been fine staying, but George did the right thing getting us off the hill.
“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”

Ya know Bill; we didn’t think that process through very well, considering that I went down right behind you with an empty truck bed. Next time we will know better.
I might be inclined to agree with Jamie45 except that the flames were rather close as we drove between the flames firetruck squirting water almost level...
Even a minute later and they would have been just a few feet from our cars.
I've had enough near-misses in my lifetime that I no longer object when someone suggests its time to move (well, most of the time anyway...)
Nevermore...

Yes, but it wouldn't have taken any longer to put them in his truck vs. Carry them the 30 yards to the shed like we did!Originally Posted by JASmith
Evacuation planning was not on my "to do" list for the Meet and Shoot! I'll have to add that for next year!

Mr. Murphy will always show up and take your well-thought plans, and use them for his bum fodder while smiling at you...rules of the road. Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency...nearest Aid Bag, Nearest trauma center...
I had the nearest Aid Bag, including plenty of Celox, which I like better than Quikclot, and the closest Trauma center, but the fire evacuation....Well, that wasn't calculated, especially if it didn't include us CAUSING the fire!
LOL!!!

Will this be an annual event?
We are hopeful, although the next time we will probably go to the west side.
