Rain, Fire, Storm = Evacuation

A bit of excitement this afternoon. I have been evaluating riders all day. This is our largest session with close to 300 campers. We match them with the horse that best suits their abilities. I know this doesn't fall under the bookkeeper job description but I loved spending the day with the campers and outside. During our last class we had a dark cloud come from the South, then the announcement from the outdoor speaker said to seek cover. Shortly thereafter we heard lightening strike close by. Then smoke from behind one of the mountains appeared. It began to pour rain (something we really needed) and we had to start an evacuation of the camp. Two of the counselors were able to put the fire out before the Utopia Fire Dept. arrived. It turned out just fine and we all know that we can accomplish a complete evacuation if we ever have to. God finished it all off with a beautiful pink and purple sunset.
