Idaho Fire
« on: August 19, 2016, 08:42:35 PM »
 For anyone that may have a Idaho tag, I'm in Boise and there is a rather large fire that's been burning 3 days now NE of here, huge mushroom cloud that is now stretched as far as you can see heading East. I've not taken a drive up into the hills but it appears to be West of 45, likely 38 or 39.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

 Smoke appears to be done, looking like they got it under control.

I'm east the mountains; smoke rolled in pretty hard last night.  Tonight was clear and good glassing.

It'll be under control by November. Looks like the big one this year, should hit 100k acres in the next few days.
Really good cloud from the fire near Hamilton, MT yesterday too so that baby might be growing significantly.
It is hard to follow one great vision in a world of darkness and of many changing shadows. Among these shadows men get lost.

It's a good ways west of 45, it is in units 33 and 39. They have said it will likely burn until November and even at 70000+ acres it is still a very small portion of huntable ground up in those units
