We made our first trip up to our cabin since the fire.

A lot of devastation along the way, but thankful to everyone who helped fight the inferno, as it could have been MUCH worst.

I did notice one big difference: the cost of lumber. We needed to buy some OSB sheets for a shed - and the local Rona Interlakes were charging roughly $28 a sheet. Thankfully 108 Mile was only charging $19.95 a sheet, but the price difference was quite a bit from what it was pre-fire. I cannot account for the price difference between the two lumber yards, as I hope that we aren't seeing the price gouging by some places that has been reported.

None the less, I am glad to have our Cariboo back to normal, and looking forward to spending thanksgiving with friends and family.

My condolences to those who lost their homes and cabins on Sheridan before it could be put out. Hopefully they will be able to rebuild quickly.

Once again, thanks to everyone on the forum for the updates during the wildfires!
