hey there say, High Travers... say, i was going to email you, as, i was curious about how all this works... clearcut, etc and all you were talking about, but say, NOW that you posted a bit about it and how 'fire fuel' stuff, and all this, works... i think i got it now...
thanks... :)
i have wondered about various areas, how or why they burn more, (barring wind changes, etc) and i wanted to understand... thanks again...
i know nothing about how logging or healthy cutting, or anything, works,
:(

The same thing happens in the national parks. If you want to move up, then you have to move to a different park. You end up with highly experienced people who often don't know the park that they are working in. So they come in and change the rules because they don't understand the local situation. It can be a real pain in the ass. But then you also have long time employees whom you wish would move to a different park.. ack..

It was pretty windy in South Lake Tahoe today. The smoke plume is very visible. I wish that I had a camera.

From downtown Placerville...
From Carson Road in Camino before it blew up at 5:00 PM
Last night along Highway 50...
Getting ready for the wind to change tomorrow night and on into Friday morning as the low passes over the range, clearing below our house and out buildings above the canyon....

the wind has shifted to the south.
this is troublesome as the majority
of development lies on that
front of the fire.

Almost tripled in size overnight. Wow.
It's raining (lightly) in the east bay this morning. Anything up that way?

Ron.. if you look at Dingus' photos on the previous page you can see that anvil. There were clouds of smoke lower then it all along that area. I could see it from south lake tahoe too.

Just before sunset was when I saw it too. The winds had been pretty fierce for a few hours which is likely what pushed the fire so far.
