On the afternoon of September 3rd, 2011, Wolf Lodge was completely destroyed by the wildfire which came to be known as the Bastrop Complex Fire. Our beloved home was one of the first of 1554 homes lost in a conflagration which burned for nearly a month before being completely extinguished. We escaped the flames with our dogs & what small things we could throw into the vehicles.

Wolf Lodge Enterprises was also a total loss, so we find ourselves lost but hopeful, crushed but resilient, faithful but pragmatic. The forest we treasured is gone for the rest of our lives: one does not replace 60+ year old pines & 100 year old oaks in what years we have left to be upright.

We will abide & rise anew, but in what fashion & what timeline we know not. Your prayers are welcome. Photos at our family site HomeSchooledByWolves.com
