This should run into the Piute burn scar from 2008.

Agree. Lots of precipitation since then so we’ve had considerable vegetation increase. I have not been up there in a few years but last time I was there it was pretty amazing recovery.

Interesting winds right now. I’m on West side 1 mile north of lookout. Lower winds are currently coming out of the SW which is normal at this time of day. Upper winds are just about opposite. It is resulting in plume heading W by SW while fire is staying in NE direction. This is only from my ground observation.
