slaphappy Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 New boulders? doubtful. Cleaner boulders? Quite possibly, although where it's burning right now there isn't much in the way of boulders. Â I'd dump a years worth of on it right now if it would extinguish the damn fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Just spoke to a friend in the FS over there. It's going to keep them busy - very dry. She strongly suggest alternative plans to the Icicle this weekend. Rats! That's what I was planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaphappy Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 No Thrutch, not right now. It's a bit hot anyhow. We will reschedule, fall will be a better time for that grunt. Let's just hope that damn fire doesn't jump the road or move too far east, that would really suck. Hopefully it won't burn til it snows. Â Every time one of these things starts it really bums me out. Â On a lighter note, maybe we can find another Pearly Gates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 The real question is where Bush's podium will be oriented for his next healthy forests speech. It will be a tough framing choice to get maximum billowing smoke in the background with haybales and rolled-up ranch shirt in foreground.
