This has been a wild and worrisome time at Little Frog Ranch! The Ross Fire started in Palo Pinto County and spread north into Jack County. As of today, it has covered 83,000 acres and is only at 12% containment. We watched every update we could find online overnight, hoping it would miss Little Frog Ranch. Our wonderful neighbor contacted us during the night to let us know that the fire was spreading and the forestry service was there working, as evacuations were being made.

The road to LFR was closed during the night, so Chris was able to go this morning.
It was still smoldering in the back.
The tractor was spared!
My favorite tree was spared!
And most importantly, the cows were spared.
We have some cleanup and work to do, but for now we are just grateful.
