Another wildfire. Starting to rethink living here.

Yes, I forgot about those people who were given such short notice and didn't know about all of your precious animals.

Plus jujube posted some good information from experience. I have no experience with fires or RVs.

Sometimes I want to be helpful with only common sense but lack hands-on experience.
Sometimes I hit a home run, sometimes I not...this time...not. I try :love_heart: :).

One thing I'm good at is prayer. I'll be praying for you both when making this huge decision. It's a tough one but sounds like a move is imminent.

Actually,your idea is a good one,but maybe with a smaller trailer. But there is still the animal problem. Keep going for home runs though!:love_heart:

October is the best month for visiting -- the tourists (and we do love them, I must say) are gone for the most part and the rainy season isn't in full swing yet. We have pastel-colored sunsets in the Fall -- beautiful! From November to March many inlanders do come over to watch the winter gales, which can be vigorous!!! :eek:nthego: Full rain gear is recommended :D Spring is okay, but unpredictable as it is anywhere else. Summer -- sans wildfires -- is temperate and truly gorgeous.
I grew up in the Willamette Valley, and remember the cyclical nature of fire years. But one thing we know about living out West is that the car is packed with the basics year round, especially when getting out on the road, right? :cool:
Stay safe!

Yes-all the really important "stuff" is in the back of my car. I just can`t carry all the photos around with me all the time but have to accept that they could be lost. All (or most) of my childhood photos were lost when my sister`s house burned 20 years ago. She had brought them from our mom`s house after her passing to go through and split up but then the fire happened. I have been able to live with that so I guess I could live with losing more. And my kids have copies of most everything that I have.

Funny you should mention sunsets. That was one of the only reasons we stayed in Gold Beach-so that I could see some nice sunsets. Unfortunately,the smoke obscured the sun the days we were there.

The devastation from these fires is heartbreaking and the scale, mind boggling. I was just telling a friend tha lately the news reports are like a disaster movie. I don't blame you for feeling as you do. I hope you'll come to a decision that you feel comfortable with, even if that means you'll move.
