We are having a "tech" day today. She is updating her blog http://www.myyearwithout.blogspot.com/ with pictures and I am going through our blog and adding a little more dialog to previous posts. Below are some pictures from on the way and at our camping spot thus far.

WARM SPRINGS, Ore. (AP) — A wind-fueled wildfire raced over about 200 acres on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation over the weekend, burning in grass and sagebrush.

The Greeley Heights fire was reported around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, about 1 1/2 miles southeast of the town of Warm Springs.

Ken Lydy, a fire management officer says crews had bulldozer lines around 30 to 40 percent of the fire by Sunday.

He says full containment could come in a day or two, if all goes well.

No evacuations had been ordered and no injuries reported.

The cause of the fire was under investigation, but officials believe it was started by a human, as there have been no thunderstorms in the area.
