Glanced at an article in either the SFGate or SacBee site about 3 growers near the Mendocino Fire who refused to leave - said they had to water their plants.

For you who abide of outdoor grown - be aware of the contamination that exists in cannabis flowers once exposed to smoke and ash. Statewide testing should catch most of the junk, but I came across a lot of filthy garbage weed after last year's Thomas Fire. So much for naturally grown huh?

Which is why us Hydroponic Growers will tell you - "Dirt is Dirty."

Is that why we're all feeling mildly buzzed downwind here in SLC?

Seriously, stop it with the fires already...the smoke haze here in Salt Lake has been terrible for days now.

Some aftermath from the Perry fire, near myself and Rick. Small compared to other fires at only 51000 acres; but thankful to the fire crews working this one. My property was lucky. Others, not so much.

Thanks for the photos, jonnyrig.


Donnell at 13,200 and 2%.

Couple more images from this afternoon...

There appear to be two spot fires off to the east of the main fire, and the southern one is almost 3 miles east of the main fire. Not sure if it’s an actual spot fire that far away from the main fire, or a data error. Maybe find out with tomorrow’s Inciweb mapping.

Inciweb now lists an estimated containment date of September 1st for this fire. Ugg.




The Ranch Fire looks like it was pretty active on its northern edge today.



And the Holy Diver Fire in SoCal.

Welcome to the new reality.

We saw a fire just off of Hwy 3 in B.C., east of Manning Park. It was 100 degrees there.

We were on a hike in Manning BITD when a good sized fire started on the ridge opposite us! For two days we watched it climb the ridge during the day and then lie down at night. The wind blew the smoke away from us so it was no probs. It never showed signs of jumping the large valley between so we carried on and nobody came for us, not that anybody cared. 🤨

Hey Mike.

The Holy Fire is very bad news. We are sending best wishes that it stays out of Holy Jim Canyon and remains limited to more remote areas.

Got gas at that pump two weeks ago.

:( :( <- that's for sure

Do you know if the 'Trail of Ancient Dwarfs' got roached?

We used to hit that place for ice cream after MTB-ing Eagle Pass or climbing Disappear Fear rock.

Damn

Re. Ferguson Fire, MODIS is now showing new fire activity to the north of Hwy 120, above the Reed’s Pinnacle area and to the west. Can anyone confirm this?



The Donnell Fire appeared to cool down a bit overnight, but is picking back up this afternoon.



And there is apparently a new fire in the Feather River Canyon, around Rock Creek Reservoir. MODIS is showing two fresh hot spots. It’s listed as the Murphy Fire on the Cal Fire state map, but no info, and nothing on Inciweb yet.

It looks like it has burned around Park Line Slab and past Arch Rock and the Entrance Station.

From the lines on the latest maps I think it is close to Cookie Cliff ,

Burned up all the way between 120 at the valley view, and 140.

Going to Yosemite will never be the same..

neebee, looking at the fire map just above, Hopping Rabbit Farm is in no danger from the Ferg fire. It's way south from Vick & Eric.

video of parks fire chief doing a report on the fire. ( 4 minutes ) Sounds very promising. They are fighting the fire direct near Badger, and near Foresta. Thats good news as it means that it is moving slow enough that they feel safe putting people directly on it.

For those interested, camera live streaming from atop Santiago Peak showing the Holy Fire.
