The firewood and the wood splitter are placed well away from the house, in accordance with Forest Service fireproofing guidelines. There's a golden eagle in the area; a black-bear sow comes and goes so freely it is practically a neighbor. Five times a week, to keep in shape for her job, Barton jogged down the 3.3 miles from the house to County Road 1 and then back up. Her mother Sue Haddock told TIME, "Terry loved that job so much...
