I was actually at a fire lookout when they called in the Canyon Creek fire. The guys were saying over the radio that they were pretty sure it was arson.

I love to camp in the Bull Trout area. Arsonists should be shot on sight.
 
They have it labled as Lightning.. BUT I read the News report of no Lightning and they said Cause "UNKNOWN"... Someone needs an A$$ Whoopin'
 
What?!?

Nobody from SI to tell you guys what a good thing this is?

Oh, thats right. Its not someones retirement home burning down.

Its someones hunting.
 
Although I know it's probably a good thing

I think Selective Logging and Some Perscribed burning in areas would be a better thing.

Eith perscribe the burning now, Or it will ALL be burnt later, Either way, It all ballences out

Check my post in Elk Hunting, Mule. Fires may suck for this year, but in a couple of years...

I agree Moosie, some controlled burns would be great. When I was up in Stanley I noticed that there are LOTS of beetle killed trees. Gonna be big fire if it gets that far. If the fires aren't too big and we get some rain, the grasses should put on a spurt of growth in the burns.
