Fire! Fire!
So, nothing really to be concerned about, but there seem to be fires burning EVERYWHERE around us. Okay, I'm exaggerating a little bit. Depending on who you ask, Highway 102 is closed north of the La Ronge airport, between La Ronge and Missinipe, or south of South End (which is actually north of our camp). I know that Neimeiben Lake (where my friend and co-worker Tyler was headed today, to spend the long weekend with his family) was evacuated. Also, that there are fires burning north of us, south of Brabant (the closest community to us), near Missinipe, and of course near La Ronge/Neimeiben Lake.
I should phone my mom and give her some more grey hairs. :P
I'm not overly concerned, but it is something we'll be keeping an eye on.

Is it a forest fire year? We haven't had one of those in four years, have we? (I wonder how this will affect our northern plans.)
As of yesterday, there were ~140 forest fires burning in northern Saskatchewan, of which 80 were out of control. We have had a bit of rain the last couple of days, so that may help.
