Some of you may be aware that in 2007 there was a serious wildfire in the area of Cove Fort. What you may not be aware of is that the fort and our RV park were threatened and abandoned for a period of time. There were many brave firefighters who worked to save structures in the area. The fire came within just a few yards of the RV park, in fact the park owners home at the park was destroyed. What is truly amazing is that the RV park, all the missionary trailers there, and Cove Fort were not burned. Below are some photos that show trees that burned less than 50 yards from our bathroom and shower facility and less that 100 yards from the trailers. It is my understanding that as the fire approached the RV park, the wind suddenly changed directions and all were saved. In my book, that is a modern day miracle.
