“Remember,” said M that morning, “It’s the day of the big hike.” E got out of bed, and decided to dress early. We were supposed to hike to Avalanche Lake, where we had previously seen avalanches. But, Dad looked in the newspaper and found out that the Going to the Sun Road was only open […]

The cloud of smoke from the Chippy Creek and other fires made the sky purple, gray, and scary. ************************************** On that day in August, as we walked through the Rosaur’s parking lot gazing up at the ominous smoke overhead, we imagined ourselves as actors in a disaster movie.
