The Ranch

Our family calls my sister-in-law's Swanton home "The Ranch".

The YELLOW CIRCLE shows "The Ranch".
The GREEN CIRCLE shows the Lud and Barbara McCary Ranch.
The BLUE CIRCLE show the Bud McCary Ranch (Lud's brother).

The shaded red area shows the approximate fire boundary.







The photo of Barbara McCary (below) could have been taken looking over the field north of her house (green) looking toward "The Ranch" (yellow).

Lockheed Fire

UPDATE: latest fire info here:

I think my sister-in-law's house is just behind the trees on the far side of this meadow.



I found this photo in a slideshow that was on a Google map showing the Lockheed Fire - started Aug. 12, 2009. My sister-in-law's house is near the word "Swanton" on the lower left edge of the fire boundaries (the tan area on the map).
