No that is a church.

Thanks. Now the following info makes sense: I heard yesterday some talk about several troops being assigned to church-cleanup. Not only were they cleaning up the mess from the CP which had been there, they were on "tumbleweed detail" and it sounded almost like a trade for the use of the church on Friday! I wonder if that was set up at the time?

[completely imagined conversation:]

"We need to use your property."

"Of course. We'll need some guaranteed assistance in readying the church for Sunday, though."

Talk about community-based action.

So has any local freeper been by to actually see whether the main house burned down?

I'd really like to hear it from a freeper - i.e. someone I can trust.
