			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I received a sad call this morning from my grandmother this morning, a little bit of a call to the reality of the fire season.&nbsp; See, we have a family cabin that my dad and grandfather built when he was a teenager.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve blogged about going up there before, it&#8217;s serious backcountry solace to my heart.&nbsp; Well, a recent lightening strike started a fire just up the canyon from our cabin.&nbsp; The benchmark road/canyon is filled with an old forest that is well past it&#8217;s prime for a heavy fire, and due to years of mismanagement, the whole forest is a large tinderbox (lots of ladder-fuel, etc.).</p>
<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><a href="http://halls.lug-nut.com/jayce/cabin.html" onclick="window.open('http://halls.lug-nut.com/jayce/cabin.html','popup','width=1024,height=768,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img src="http://halls.lug-nut.com/jayce/assets_c/2007/07/cabin-thumb-320x240.jpg" alt="" class="mt-image-right" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 20px 20px; float: right;" height="240" width="320"/></a></span>Well, the fire is currently <i>mostly</i> headed a different direction, but it won&#8217;t take much, especially with the current coverage to head down the canyon and include our cabin.</p>
<p>The one interesting note about this though, is that my grandmother is one of those people we all know that never got into computers.&nbsp; After retiring from working for the state of Montana, she retired to living her summers at this primitive cabin, when she called she had some very useful information for me. </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I have an internet number about the fire for you to call..&nbsp; it&#8217;s &#8216;H&#8217; as in home, &#8216;T&#8217; as in toy, &#8216;T&#8217; as in toy, &#8216;P&#8217; as in&#8230;&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I think you can see where that is going.&nbsp; Out of it though, I found a really interesting site called <a href="http://www.inciweb.org">inciweb</a>, that is a good mashup of several sources of information, if you want to track any fires.&nbsp; Good maps.&nbsp; As for the fire I&#8217;m concerned about:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.inciweb.org/incident/805/">Ahorn Wildland Fire</a></p>
