It started with a run to Clovis to deliver a textbook Casey had forgotten. After puttering around an hour or so, we headed home down the airbase road. Got into smoke, thinking "no big deal"...Smoke was so thick we couldn't see an inch! Fire was flashing across the road...not good! We made it through one batch and faced this....back seemed worse, so we barrelled on throughand went through another bunch of fire, choking smoke in the cab with everything closed....but through being the operative word, we made it home, and found out it was a 17,000 acre fire.
