Carlton Complex Fire in the Methow

Gail and I attended the Blues Festival up in Winthrop this last week.   It was great but pretty subdued due to the historic fires burning to the east and south down the Methow Valley.   On our drive back down Highway 153 we saw some of the impacts of the fire.   It is still burning but hopefully the rain today is helping.  Wanted to share these photos and a link for contributing to relief efforts for those affected by this disaster.     http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/2014/jul/18/how-to-assist-fire-victims/
