I had a HELOC signing yesterday in the little town of Paradise. This is the same town that was devastatingly flattened 5-1/2 years ago by the Camp Fire.

More than 5 years later, Paradise is still rebuilding. What used to be a forest is now only a few trees left standing. Construction going on everywhere. Heavy equipment on the road up to town. The blessed survival spirit of the residents is palpable.
This was my first time to ever visit Paradise. Glad I was given the opportunity.
