We were on Ravens Roost this eve. There is a finger of fire working it's way down towards Crow Lake. It's gonna definitely burn till snow.

That was going last Sunday when I was there.  Not an easy spot to get to.

Bummer.  I had camera up there about a month before the fire started and that was my first thought when I heard about it.

Grabbed my cams this morning. West of ravens roost a bit. Thought they would be close to the fire looking at the fire maps. No fire or smoke seen.

Chinook has been opening up from 8pm to 6am the last couple nights. Possibly opening up for good tomorrow when they re-assess the situation along the highway. keeping a close eye on it via inciweb.

Glad you got your cams out. Is the road to Raven's still open?  It would be a good spot to photograph the fire depending on lighting/smoke conditions.

Inciniweb has a section of fire on the map in the Crow Creek Lake basin, about 2-3mi west of Sheepherder lake.  I really do hope the majority of that area gets fire.  It will be CRAZY beautiful in a couple years with all that junk on the forest floor gone.  There are lots of elk in that basin too, so it ought to be great hunting after the fire with some of the forest thinned  :tup:

Ya the 1902 up to ravens roost appeared to be open but I didn't go up it. Looking at the closure map it should be open. Hope it doesn't burn that direction for our archery elk hunts sake. But yes it could use a good burn there.  Just not this year.
