carvedog Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Don't know if others are following this but there is a pretty big fire burning to the North and West of Bald mountain in Sun Valley. They have evacuated parts of Board Ranch, Adams Gulch, and Hulen Meadows. ( Outlying communities) http://www.mtexpress.com/vu_breaking_story.php?bid=4112 Doesn't seem to be able to threaten the ski hill but it came within a couple of miles ( or closer ). Who knows maybe it will open up some of the tree runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Jerry, we were over in July and I couldnt believe how dry it was. Of course it rained for several days after the heat wave, and the riding in Fox Creek and Adams Gulch was incredible. There was a large fire outside of Mt Home when we drove in but everything seemed to be calming down when we left. Lightning strike or stupidity?

Art Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I still cant believe that cedar shakes are REQUIRED in some of the communities for looks. Maybe this will open some eyes...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carvedog Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Love to get a copy Art, I wouldn't use it without permission. Apparently it's pretty active on Baldy right at the moment and the winds have steady. http://www.mtexpress.com/vu_breaking_story.php?bid=4197 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
