Sit Report the last three days is fvcking mind boggling. 14000+ acres every 24 hours.

Edit: My brother, when he was on Arrowhead Hotshots, had a picture of one of these on fire:

Edit #2 WOW.

Not to toot my stepson's horn, however, if his crew (Tallac 19 out of Tahoe) was on this fire, it'd be better contained by now, haha (he's busy up north on the OR border with one at the moment).

The smoke from this has been nuts up here in Tahoe. It's made any sort of training for Mammoth's Kamikaze Bike Games non-existent. Granted, as I look out our front windows, I'm able to see Kingsbury for the first time in a week, so that's real good news for us. The winds are picking up, too, so hopefully that'll help clear it out some more.

And to think south of Bridgeport it's clear skies...........

instead of "extreme" they should make one that says "on fire"

instead of "extreme" they should make one that says "on fire"

Or "too late".

Pretty cool time lapse video courtesy NPS. Fire only grew 8000 acres yesterday.

Just got back from the Kamikaze Bike Games in Mammoth Saturday. Arrived late Friday night, and as I'm getting ready to sleep in the van, I look up, and see so many stars, since we've been "blacked out" by Tahoe since the fire started. Saturday morning, I could not have asked for a better day. Clear, blue, and clean air. It was an excellent day in my "happiest place on Earth"........

Then I had to drive home, and was hit by the smoke/ash north of Bridgeport. Oh well...............
