We don’t live there year around but since my parents retired they spend about half the year there. My grandfather built it in the 40’s (permits-shmermits, all you needed was a rough concept, some tools, and beer) and we’ve put a lot of time, money, and love into upgrading and remodeling it over the years while still keeping the cabin aesthetic and feel. (I hate when people say they have a cabin and by every measurable standard it’s a modern house that just happens to be located in the wilderness)
The area is under threat from the Dolan fire in NorCal east of Monterey. We received the evacuation order earlier today. I hope they are being a little overly cautious because there is only 1 main road in and out of the area. There’s a permanent fire house and station about a mile from our cabin and in the past firefighters have used the property our cabin is on for a camp as well as getting water from the river. So they are well aware of the cabins on the property and trying to protect them.
I’m just wondering if we are going to have to go through this crap every year now with climate change. I’m about 3 hours north of our cabin and the sky has been a sickening dark orange all day from a completely different forest fire. It’s been like an all-day eclipse.
