I'm sure there will still be quite a bit of it left. If I have anything to say about it that is.

The drive up the coast is great! Scenic ect. there are also lots of interesting places to stop and tour along the way.

For as long as I can remember, my dad (now 72) has been killing knapweed. Used to carry a weed wacker and herbicides in his trunk and pull over and have at it whenever he spotted it along side the road.

Retired from USFS 7 years ago, but still occasionally works the radio and maps when they get short handed during fire season.

The Forestry Service has long since been hijacked by the enviros. It's sad how the agency has become the enemy.

Yup. There's no saving it now because USFS personel have been totally brainwashed by government universities. "Leave it to the professionals to do their jobs" would be a disastrous policy.

"USFS personnel." Sheesh.

I live in Eagle Point, near medford, and my girlfirend lives in Grants Pass, and believe me...you have nothing to worry about.

The air IS smokey as all get-out, but other than that, everything's fine...

That's good to hear - we LOVE to stay in Grants Pass, it's such a beautiful city. In fact, the whole Valley of the Rogue is gorgeous.

Hope you guys are all doing OK up there: we get some pretty nasty fires down here, too, but you've really been hit hard this year.

GP really is a lovely city! But boy, oh boy, is it SMOKEY! In fact, there's so much ash falling from the air that it looks like it's snowing!
