I'll help you keep it bumped.

Since it has been removed from Breaking news, perhaps you can have it put on Extended news. Seems apropriate and would keep it on the side bars.

[Grampa Dave]

It is under Extended News Now. Thanks.

[Grampa Dave]

The thread was no pulled.

It was considered to be Extended News and is there.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for posting this. It is important to those living in SW Oregon.

Thanks for the update re the westward and northward movement of the wilderness fire. ============================================================

The following report is for the western half of the Florence Fire.

At Risk: Private residences in Oak Flat (Curry Co.), Agness, and Wilderness Retreat on the Chetco River.

Closures: The entire Siskiyou National Forest is under a fire closure. All open campfires are prohibited. Most Forest Service roads and trails south of the Agness Road (#33) are closed to public access and the Upper Rogue River Trail is closed. Bear Camp Road (#23) road closure is now in effect; travel is limited to emergency fire traffic only.

[farmfriend]

Good to hear. I'll still make an effort to keep it bumped.

I will be there tomorrow. If I can get time, I will try for some more pictures and info.

[Grampa Dave]

Looking forward to your pictures. Either Freepmail or post them on the next non important thread of the fires of SW Oregon.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for your help and concern.

I grew up in the woods. Lassen National and Tahoe National to be spacific. I have a true love of the forest. That is why I support Carry_Okie's work so much.

More eco terrorism via their big tool, the bad science of Salmon in the NW. (Latest eco/economic terrorism via the Great Salmon Hoax)

As you know, the Kalmiopsis Wilderness Fire was named the Florence Fire by the Florist Circus people to avoid calling it the Kalmiopsis Wilderness Fire.

Well, folks, this map of the fire on 5 August shows that there ain't much of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness left. Then little green shaded area around the west, north and south side of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness is all that was left 24 hours ago.

So the enviralists main Druid Cathedral in the Pacific Northwest has burnt up as a result of their no roads, no logging or removal of dead trees and of course no brush removal.

Can you image the uproar if a lumber company had an accident and caused the Kalmiopsis Wilderness to disappear?

Most of the world, the USA and most Oregonians are not aware that the Kalmiopsis Wilderness is now dead trees and ash. They think that some mythical fire, the Florence Fire is burning some where.

[EBUCK]

Hell, florence aint even close enough to appear on that map.

EBUCK

Apparently this was a little trick developed during the Babbitt/Clintoon years by the pink panty wearing florist circus.

They would pick some weird name that nothing to do with a wilderness, national park, or forest burning. Like the EBuck Burn north of Klamath Falls.

Just part of the miss and diss information system by the Florist Circus Bozos playing forest rangers.

I just got this warning on my weather warning advisory. ============================================================

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SACRAMENTO CA 330 PM PDT TUE AUG 6 2002

...A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING FOR THE TAHOE NATIONAL FOREST AND THE LAKE-NAPA-SONOMA RU...

THE WATCH IS FOR LOW HUMIDITY...POOR NIGHTTIME RH RECOVERY AND LOCALLY BREEZY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS.

THIS INCLUDES FIRE WEATHER ZONES... 541...536...561...558...559...

THE AXIS OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL GRADUALLY MOVE ACROSS EXTREME NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

IN THE WAKE OF THIS WEATHER SYSTEM SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY BUILD ACROSS OREGON AND NEVADA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

THE STRONGEST OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY NIGHT WHEN LOCALLY BREEZY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WIND WILL OCCUR. IN THE UPPER LEVELS HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO DOMINATE THE REGION LEADING TO WARMER TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY AND VERY LOW HUMIDITY.

PLEASE ADVISE THE APPROPRIATE OFFICIALS AND FIRE CREWS IN THE FIELD OF THIS FIRE WEATHER WATCH.

This is what I have been concerned with. When this happens and that High forms up NEN of here, that can create the Banana Belt Days in the SW coast of Oregon. Then you have hot and windy days with the wind coming from the east down to the ocean from Brookings to Port Orford.

Gramof8 keep alert in case this does happen.

If it happens, we will seen big concerns for the safety of all west of this fire in Curry County from Brookings to Gold Beach and Port Orford if the fire jumps the Rogue River.

Also, the area from Crescent City to Brookings can be effected.

[Grampa Dave]

Hey I'm out of here for awhile.

If anyone has a way to connect to one of these up to date and reliable weather service, please check and see what they are saying for Curry and Josephine Counties in Oregon.

Take care and stay safe.

[farmfriend]

Promised bump.
