NC Wildfires

We've had a very dry season especially since early October. A few spotty showers but not enough to keep the ground moist. The threat of fire is always something that those of us living in the mountains are aware of. The latest news about the NC wildfires illustrates the potential for fire damage in our area. These fires are difficult to contain especially during drought conditions.

The High Country has been spared except for smoke and air quality concerns. Most of the fires are to our south and west and pose no threat. We still have to be careful as we're currently blanketed with fall leaves and dry timber.

On a lighter note... Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Please be safe in your travels and plan to come see us when you can!
