MW not under threat ... but we've been all over it ... crazy. Here's photo I took Sunday at PK ...
That photo reminds of the huge fire they had outside of Jackson Hole five or six years ago. I'll never forget watching the trees erupt like rockets and fire into the sky. It almost reached downtown Wilson and we lived five miles from there. Horrible stuff.
My prayers go to everyone out there in West Texas. Hang in there. Hope everything turns out all right.
we've got a place within the cliff's resort...about a 1/2 mile from the course. our place thankfully is ok and i've gotten reports that the course is ok as is most of the resort.How is The Cliffs Golf Course holding up? I know it is kind of petty with all those people losing their homes, but I think The Cliffs may be my favorite course, despite being brutal. There are also some high-dollar homes around the course, too. The homes probably will get hurt more than the course.
any idea when that's gonna be? i've heard saturday at the earliest. i wanted to go tomorrow, but i'm afraid i will be turned around once i hit 16 North off of 30.Very anxious to get back out there as soon as the roads are opened again.

we are in Bob White Bluffs within the cliffs. I think we've been unaffected so far (miracle).Hope your place is ok - that's a beautiful area around the Cliffs.
We have a place at the end of the peninsula on PK and we've been very lucky - no fires reported on the peninsula. Very anxious to get back out there as soon as the roads are opened again.
We are so blessed by the selfless giving of time and energy of the volunteer firefighters. I'm sure they have saved many homes.

It's a very apocalyptic scene. Like a tornado, it skipped homes. You have two or three burned, one or two untouched, a couple more burned, a couple OK, etc.
Would love to meet and go in with you for photos when you go ...

I posted a thread on the Killingsworth Board about the area around Ft. Davis. Having grown up in that part of the country, and having a Great-Great Grandfather that was a full-blood Apache stationed at Ft. Davis as a scout, that really hits home to me moreso than the PK area, however, that doesn't lessen the suffering and loss to those that have friends, family, and property around PK.
It's just a damn shame. My heart goes out to all.
Insurance money will enable the homes to be rebuilt pretty quickly, but those beautiful cedars and mesquites will take 10-15 years to grow back.55, was wondering if we were related there for a minute. My family (all Horned Frogs) has a place at the end of the peninsula on PK as well. So far, all on the peninsula have been very fortunate. It's all unbelievable and I can't imagine what it's going to look like when we finally get to see it. PK will probably never look the same (at least from the water).
