On the south side of Jackson, WY lies Snow King ski area. It is 400 acres big, with a vertical rise of 1571' and the elevation at the top of the mountain is 7808'. "the King" is located in the Bridger Teton National Forest as is most of the land on its backside and all the land to the east. From sunup to sundown and year round locals and vistors hike up the King, its kind of a vertical park. In the surrounding area adjacent to Snow King are a myriad of trails that are used for hiking, running, mountain biking and horseback riding. This is a popular recreation area.
On 9/8/12 a forest fire broke out a few miles south of Jackson in Little Horsethief Canyon. The fire went from 400 acres to 3300 acres in 48 hours. The neighborhoods on the east side of Jackson were put on evacuation advisory while smoke plumed over the top of the King. It took over 2 weeks, 2 helicopters, 4 fire engines and 245 personnel at a cost of 8 million dollars to extinguish the fire.
What does this story have to do with my 100 Strangers Project?
I'm honored to introduce you to Chip Gerdin. He works for the Bridger Teton National Forest and was the Incident Commander on the Little Horsethief Canyon fire. I met Chip while walking up Snow King this afternoon. He was on his way to survey the area as he still has staff in the field putting out the last remnants of the fire.
Chip fights forest fires 8 month's of the year and works on his family's farm in Minnesota during the winter.
I want to thank Chip not just for letting me take his picture but for working most of the last 19 days to put out the fire that started in Little Horsethief canyon and spread through an area that many of us call home. Thanks Chip!

Family Basket - Rex Hunt's D'lish Fish, Sorrento
AUD25 got us Medium Chips (half kilo) 4 each of fillets of whiting, AUD1 extra each for the grilled fillets, calamari rings, crumbed prawns, dim sims and potato cakes. Plus AUD1 for tomato sauce (not shown).
The fish wasn't as fresh as the shop in Beacon Cove, but the chips were nice and golden!
The dim sims had a very crunchy skin, but the filling was a bit soggy. They were too fresh! Needs a bit more time in the bain marie under the heat lamps for it to dry out :P
