For once the Oregon/Live aka Oregonian had more on this fire than KGWTV. I guess that it is too close to Portland to ignore.

J'Accuse:

Andy Kerr and the NRDC
Vera Katz and the City of Portland
Bruce Babbitt and the radicals in the USFS
The filthy idiot tree-sitting hippies
The Sierra Club
Nature Conservancy and the bozos that sell land to them
Our cowardly governor
State-funded radical environmentalist UO & OSU professors
Tre Arrow & friends
and all their enablers

I had planned to be in this area fly fishing next week or the week after:

The 20,000 White River fire threatened the Deschutes River canyon south of Maupin. The river from the city park to Shearar's Falls seven miles downstream was closed to whitewater rafters. The fire was about a mile from Maupin on Friday.

Along the south side of the River (changes directions like a drunk driving) in the Maupin Area to Warm Springs, the brush growth along the river is horrible. It would be like touching a match to a fuse.

Remember this fire, the Biscuit Fire. This was the crown jewel of no roads, no dead tree removal, no brush removal and the Green Agenda. They are ignoring this disaster in the media as this beautiful area burns up. Thanks to the ONRC and the really hostile eco green agendas, this area could turn to ashes!

Grampa Dave was warning about this pending disaster when this was a small fire.

Also of major concern were the 1,120 acre North Umpqua Complex in southwestern Oregon and the 15,880 Biscuit-Florence Fire southwest of Cave Junction.

Here is the official firemap dated: 26 July 2002:

Weather in Interior Alaska is cooler and wetter. In fact, we are wetter than in the past ten years. Temperatures are about normal, 50-70 daily. Fire season might not be over, but we're past the peak and might avoid burning the place down for another year. All our smokejumpers would be down in the Northwest by now.

Al-Quaida's American Taliban - the Greenies. We need to file massive lawsuits against the green groups (TNC, Sierra Club,Center for Biodiversity, Tom Dashole and the 50, etc...) for their stopping of logging to assist America in trying to get the woods back in shape.

How soon before the rest of America takes up arms against these POS's?

I hate to hear that this area is burning. We drove up the gorge from the ocean to The Dalles a few years ago & I loved the whole area.
