Fire S of Mt Baker

[wormfighter6]

Went on a day hike Sat up to the railroad grade on Baker two things: There was a small fire just south of baker on South side of hill soth of MT Baker. They were using 2 choppers on that one. Does anyone know the outcome of that fire??

2) WTA replaced the bridge that was washed away this spring. The new "bridge" is defenity a temp solution but you now longer have to go down to the log jam to cross the stream. Thanks WTA!!

My partner and I climbed Baker on Sunday and on our way down noticed that it appeared that they seemed to have the fire basically completely contained. There was one 'copter that was dumping water around the base of the peak, probably to prevent hot ash from starting a new fire. On our hike up on Saturday,though,from the parking lot we were breathin'smoke up to around the meadows area. Saturday night were camped above the high camp (Easton Glacier)and you could see the 'flareups' or trees burning which made for an interesting spectacle. From what we saw Sunday on our way back down to the parking lot,though, the fire was pretty much out.

P.S. We need some more instant gremms to choose from.
