Has anybody heard from them or knows their whereabouts at this time! Know they live in the fire zone of Santa Cruz mountains and most likely were evacuated but would love to get in touch with them or hear they are fine elsewhere! Thanks!

They are fine so far. The are in a hotel at the moment waiting to see what happens. All very upsetting.

It's been pretty hectic lately for Nancy and I. Last Tuesday, the 18th, the fires up in the hills that started with the lightning show the other night, decided to head toward the beach. We were evacuated the next night and at the present time, staying at the Fairfield Marriott in Santa Cruz. The goats are in guest stalls at the fairgrounds. The chickens went with Nancy’s son Ian and living in his backyard in Alameda, thank God there is no rooster to irritate his neighbors at sunrise.

Each day we think we will be able to go home but not today and probably not tomorrow. Our evacuation is still in effect but if you look for some bright spots, you can find them. Our fire is now 5% contained and the closest hot spot to our house is no closer now than it was yesterday.

We have two TVs, one for the fire news and one for Netflix binge watching, we are now in season two of Longmire.

We appreciate everyone concern.

Ken Burnap and Nancy Gaffney Burnap are, in fact, safely ensconced in a hotel. I spoke with Nancy this morning. The fire at that time was 5 miles from their property. They safely evacuated the goats to a pen at the local fairground, and all the other animals, except for one feral cat. They are emotionally distraught with the enormity of the destruction.

The good news, wait for it......is, Nancy doesn’t have to cook, which she was getting tired with, however they are eating takeaway.

Ken and Nancy, where do you live? I lived in Boulder Creek for 14 years before moving to Mexico 19 years ago. So sad to hear the daily news...Glad you are safe, as are all of my friends in that area who have evacuated, although one just lost his beautiful home in Brookdale.

Sorry about the name error...could not remember...is it aging or covid fatigue? Glad you are safe, the animals too! Sent you an email!

Judy..where did you live in BC...my sister has been on Creek Drive off Redwood Road for about twenty years!

Very sad all those that lost everything, and if we weren’t shell shocked enough with Covid and Fire it pains me to see La Manzanilla under water!!! Mother Nature is pissed of big time!!!
