Dusty at Duffy Lake

Sept 22, 1991

Duffy Lake was Dusty's favorite place in the whole world (next to his own real estate, of course).

Duffy Lake really WAS a beautiful place until the B&B fire. It actually didn't come through too badly compared to most of the southern Mt. Jefferson Wilderness. The opposite shoreline (above) kept a very narrow band of unburned trees, and the east end (with the meadow Dusty loved so much) was untouched. A good thing, because while the fires were burning, I was at a loss to explain to Dusty why we couldn't go there, and worse still, that we might never again go to the "there" he remembered.
