It's pucker time. Either they catch it now or the rains will, if it ever rains. I'd rather they get it now instead of burning Oregon down. ;-)
It's been 15% for days with over 2000 troops on scene and near vertical country (few dozers, all ground pounders and an air show). Pretty to see, sucky to hike, lotsa old fuels.
*Just* far enough inland to not have a marine influence except some winds. Pretty lousy shot at extinguishment quickly (past fires in the area were managed seasonally; winter came).
