I guess everyone has seen on TV about the wildfires around PK Lake by now. Well, I own 180 acres in the NE corner of Stephens County about 5 miles north from the NW corner of PK Lake.

I got a call last night around 7pm that my ranch was on fire. We made it up there from Dallas by before 10pm and everything is pretty well wiped out. I have a 38' travel trailer and lots of stuff sitting around, generator, mowers, etc., everything is destroyed. Probably about 80-90% of my land has been burned as well.

I do have insurance, but it definitely won't cover nearly all of it, so I will lose a lot.I really had a great place with a lot of good deer and turkey. Hopefully the land and wildlife will come back after a few years and maybe, someday, I can get things back to normal.

Your prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Larry Davidson, Lone Ranger

Sorry to hear about your loss, but don't think you'll have to wait 3 years for the deer and turkey to come back.

The places that have burned earlier in the year are the only places with green grass around here.

Larry, Thankful for you that you have insurance and that you are safe. I bet this fire will ultimately be a major benefit for your ranch. My only hope is that you didn't lose all your hardwood trees. God Bless and keep us informed on how it is going!

Thanks so much for all your prayers and words of encouragement. You will never know how much I need them and really appreciate them.

I don't know why this happened, but I do know that God is in control. We just have to trust Him that He knows what is best for us in our lives. Thanks again. Lone Ranger.

As a victim from fire about 4 years ago I can tell you the land will bounce back and so will the wildlife.

As far as stuff goes it sux. It takes a long time to bounce back. We didnt have insurance.

good luck to you
