Another Wolverine in the making!

Read the inciweb report back on the 10th they figured rain was going to put it out!

We just might get to see if the "swath" built at Lake Wenatchee last year works OR Holden will get hit from the back side!

Headed up there

Is there a decent colum today? Last I heard, it was 630 acres and still in the wilderness.

Doin good, busy, trying to get ahead on woodwork so I have extra time to let the air out of some critters in Sept.


Timberfaller....sure does seems like a replay of the Wolverine.

From what I've heard, structure protection happening now. Moved more than a mile in last 24 hours.

I haven't seen any threads on here about the buck creek wildfire currently burning in the GPW. It seems like this fire has been kind of low key compared to most wildfires. I'm kind of wondering if not too many people are aware of it? Right now it has a good size chunk of the GPW closed including the popular high hunt areas of Phelps creek, Napeequa, high pass, etc. This is a bummer for me as I had planned on doing the high hunt in this area. I'm sure it will deter a lot of other hunters who were planning on hunting here also.

That area typically gets a fair amount of rain in early September.  I bet the closures are mostly or all lifted by mid-September.

Really hasn't done much the last 4 days. Creeping around cleaning up the brush and torching a few trees.

My brother was camping at the chiwawa horse camp last week. Said the smoke got so bad they packed up and went to goose Creek.
