I wonder if the two cabins on the other side of Tilly Jane Creek survived?
Re: Award for Saving Cloud Cap Inn
The fire came very close to Cloud Cap Inn. The following two pictures were taken on the Barrett Spur above Vista Ridge:
Cloud Cap Inn is at the highest point of the burnt ridge (about 1/6th from the right-hand side of the photo).
I would encourage everybody to go somewhere above the snowline to enjoy the crisp surroundings!

Some people are really fit at eighty; thankfully I still have many years to get into shape…

They did. I heard that the fire came just to the backdoor of the A frame and stopped.retired jerry wrote:I wonder if the two cabins on the other side of Tilly Jane Creek survived?
