pretty dramatic image...

It took me a moment to figure that out; it's a plane dropping fire suppressant. I remember back in the day the Neat And Cool area at 'Squish had a red stain from that which lasted for several years.

Wow! I thought the fire suppressant was some kind of paint markup line on your photo.

Very cool.

apparently the fire is now on the north side of Hwy 20.....

Rain and thunder currently in the Methow so I think it'll be getting a good soaking up there.  I'm optimistic that it'll stick to the current fire perimeter and shouldn't grow much at all this fall.

looks like hwy20 is open with a pilot car through the burnt out areas.  Must have been raining up there real good.
