They just moved the hotlist forum to a new server, I had to reset my book marks to the new site.

Well the meeting didn't have too much new info... Young Rd will be closed at least till wed. Main things they are concerned with are the power lines and making lines on the east and west sides to try and keep it heading toward an old burn to the north. Round Mtn. has visible flames behind it tonight.

Headed up there in a couple hours. I'll drag my pc along and give updates if I can get web access at the ICP.

 

Thoughts and prayers for all our firefighters. Stay safe Bill. :)

Fire estimated at 3,100 acres. Resources on the fire include ten Hotshot crews, four 20-person crews, 12 engines, two dozers, six water tenders, four helicopters, for a total of 490 people. Tanker 911 (DC-10) continues to work on the fire.

 

Here is the DC-10 dropping slurry on Round Mtn.(pic taken from our front yard) You can also see one of the helicopters that is dropping water. The helicopters are getting water from the FS, about every 4 minutes one comes in, right behind our house. Its been pretty noisy here the last few days.....

That is too bad. I sure hope they get it under control soon. I shot my first bull not far from Round Mt a few years ago.
