  1. Where and how did you find long term housing. I would have thought that would have been nearly impossible given how many people were out of their homes. Clearly you had your travel trailer, I’m assuming that was a huge bonus that most people didn’t have access to.
    Great article.

    1. Yes, you’re absolutely correct. With so many people displaced, lodging was very tough – this is why we were trying to stay with friends (when we thought it would be a short-term event). After that Sat. meeting, we knew we were in for the long haul and we started calling all around. We ended up finding a place nearly 20 miles away, because everything else in and around our city was full. Even with this we felt we got lucky, 1 of our friends ended up >30 miles away in LA county because it was all he could find…

      As for the trailer, we could have street camped in it if we had to. We thought we could have “gone camping” too (if needed), but it turned out that most of the campgrounds in our area were either directly in the path of the fire, threatened by it, or already burned.

  2. “What did we do? We made a to-do list!”

    But of course! Never underestimate the value of lists– which obviously you don’t. Good call on opening up the fridges. Won’t have thought of that.
