Post by: Heredoggydoggy on July 10, 2012, 12:52:44 PM: The bad news: It's going to be triple digits hot for at least a week. The good news: The air is drying out, so no more lightning storms can form. Et: The Entiat River Valley is a big place--it won't all burn.

Post by: golfguy0912 on July 10, 2012, 03:11:46 PM: ET, I also have the late entiat archery tag, and this fire by no means threatens the unit. There is a small band of timber that runs through potatoe creek, other than that all that can burn is brush. i live in the entiat unit (about 12 miles from the fire) and have no smoke down here. Haven't even seen much in the way of fire fighters running up the valley.

Thanks! Good luck on your tag, and maybe we will meet up there in the hills this fall.

Post by: UBA on July 11, 2012, 11:37:15 AM: Its pretty close to stormy creek so assume its the same one. I haven't heard anything about Tyee. That wouldn't be good if one up there got going.
