It makes me so sad. We love hanging out on the Illinois River in the summer. We were just camping at the trailhead and it was already so devastated from the Biscuit fire.
My friend just called me this morning, her pigs are having respiratory distress from the smoke. Not sure they're going...
My bff lives in Murphy. She said their car was covered in ash. She's been sending me pictures, it's horrible. We were just camping down on the Illinois river about a month ago. Now she tells me the fire is burning pretty much in the same area. It's so sad. Hope everyone stays safe down there.
