Should get a birds eye view here in an hour or so.

Looks like most flights from LAS are coming in from the east. Make sure you sit on the left side of the plane..

Am I the only one that thinks the fire map is rather.... well, phallic? :thinking:

Wow. I just don't understand why someone would resort to arsen.

I'm not sure if this is possible or even effective. Would it be a good idea to organize some kind of cleanup/rehabilitation trip when the area is safe, or even a series of trips if necessary?

I don't really know what we could do, but if people are interested I could start doing research and reach out to the FD to see what we can do.

I've never been to the Rubicon or done something like this. I'm sure many of you know the area like the back of your hand and have a great relationship with the local community. It would be great to have you involved.

What do you guys think?



I hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes being the new guy.

They routed us really far to the east on my flight home from Vegas. The smoke is pretty nasty. :gray no:

I tried posting a pic from the plane but it didn't work.

You can see camp wayalife in this pic



Looking west toward Dayton and Carson City.


Reno with the smoke in the background.

Too far east to get a good look at Tahoe, you can just make it out in the first pic.

Reno is buried in smoke.

It's super smokey up here in Boise, Idaho because of this fire... Terrible!! :bummed:

The fire has only grown about 6,000 acres in the last 24 hours. It is now 10% contained.

It's gotten cooler here and we even saw a bit of precipitation yesterday. I'm sure it helped out.

Sucks. Looks like bay area fog :grayno:

That's what I was reading. I saw most of the afternoon the smoke was too heavy for them to do drops but last night it cleared right before sunset and they had plans ready to go which helped. They have been doing a lot of back burning as well which could be some of the additional acreage that is burning.

The suspect gets arraigned today at 10 or 11.
