They have been moving them to other pastures farther from the fire. Haven't heard from SIL today but I know they have been fighting the fires for 3 days. He told me they were started by lightning. People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf

Wife and I were looking at buying a few hundred acres ranch in Archer County. I'll have to see if it has been affected by the fire.

Not sure, like I said I haven't heard from SIL today but reports say over 5,000 acres have burned since Sunday. Big fire last week was caused by a branding iron. SIL told me the latest ones were caused by lightning. Their place is south of Lake Kickapoo. Last edited by Bar-D; 07/18/18 05:21 PM.

Now the Waggoner Ranch is on fire - 5700 acres and only 25% contained. Freedom is a fragile thing ...Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again. -- Ronald Reagan
