Thanks to Mineral Lodge for allowing hundreds (maybe thousands) of trucks to trample their parking lot as they find respite, coordinate and once the restaurant and store were reopened, get a bite to eat.

July 27, 2024 Early Morning - Mineral is under mandatory fire evacuation, but essential personnel have stayed to defend and support those defending Mineral. This morning, the sky was white. Wade is showing the giant ash falling, next to his hand for size comparison. Ranch was bulldozing fire lines last night while Mineral Lodge had some visitors. These are our community's heroes.

Historically there were tennis courts on this property, but now it sits in disrepair. As this property is along one of the most commonly walked roads in and out of Cool Air, take note. Beware of broken fencing and watch to make sure dogs or kids don't end up wandering over while walking by and getting cut.
