Sunday around Welcome Station

On Sunday, after joining with our home church via live-stream, I joined Steve and Nancy for worship at their church in Wells. We spent the afternoon doing small tasks and ended the day with another delicious Tri-Tip cooked by Steve in his smoker.
The sun under the clouds was lighting the mountains to the north. I understood from another resident here at the RV park that there is a large fire in that area (I think he said 178,000 acres and 2% contained at this point) and that it is moving this way, but it is far in the distance at this point.
Looking at the National Incident Map, I am guessing he was talking about the Martin Fire (https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/map/5899/0/) - if you go to that link, scroll down to see the progression day-by-day of the fire. It is currently quite a distance west of our location, and a little north, but appears to be moving east pretty rapidly by that map - 11 MPH was the information provided on Sunday night.
