The Ranch and River fires are the latest to hit Lake County, where 10 major wildfires in six years have devoured more than 280,000 acres of terrain and destroyed about 2,600 structures.
We have a winner!
Straydog and his generous bid of $400. PM me your phone # and let’s work out the details if which charity you prefer and where I should ship them.
Good to talk to you too Bill. Sent you a text with the donation confirmation.
I also had somewhat of an old debt to pay to California. Long story short, when I was stationed in Monterrey California a few of us waited in a parking with this older lady as her "rolls royce" was was having some issues until her hired man arrived. Nicest, most down to earth lady you could imagine smack dab in the middle of California. She gave us each $100 and insisted we take it. Truth be told, if it wasn't for that $100 I wouldn't have been able to afford to go home for Christmas a few weeks later. There are some good people, even in California.
If you care to send a few bucks the link Bill gave me is listed below:
On July 23, 2018 a fire began at Carr Powerhouse in Shasta County, CA. Alongside other organizations, we are working to bring healing and hope to Redding, and we continue to pray for this fire to be miraculously stopped.
Stray dog, my daughter may or may not be stationed in Monterrey at language school,,,,,,,
BTW, generous bid! nicely done
Monterrey is one of my favorite places on earth - what language is she studying? If you are able go visit - eat a burrito at papa chano’s, visit the aquarium, hit the downtown Thursday evening street fair, and sit on the rocks off lovers point park and watch the sunset. I’m going back for car week next year!
Monterey is really nice, my daughter lived in Seaside for a couple years and worked in the Ag business in Salinas. She always said she’d jog or hike in Big Sur and was living where people came for vacations.
My wife and I like Carmel, the public beach is beautiful snd allows dogs off leash. Our labs go crazy chasing a ball in the surf. South of Carmel is a Carmelite convent and church. When you leave at the end and walk out the doors- the blue Pacific ocean is your horizon.
I should be out of Cali way before next summer, the Lord willing.
