I have just talked at length to Barbara McCrary who asked me to send a message to Ridecamp that all family members and their homes are okay. All animals are okay. Barbara and Lud's property has been 85 to 90% burned to a crisp. Most of the old Castle Rock Trail is gone. The fire continues with only 15% containment, but it is no longer a threat in Barbara's immediate vicinity. They have no phone service other than cell. Their water tank is empty. I asked what we could do to help, and apparently, at the moment, there is nothing. Julie Get your vacation photos on your phone! Click here.
