20 minutes ago, 100 acres, RROS, Crown runs and spotting. 1 structure in front of it, with possible alinement in a drainage with the town of Markleville. (5 to 6 miles from the fire at this point)
Almost 100% alignment. It’s ripping in pleasant Valley drainage which leads directly to Markleeville.
And the winds are showing directly down that valley.
The Hawkins cam showed the fire initially behind Thornburn peak. The fire has come around the shoulder of thornburg and working into thornburn creek as well.
Dang, it’s moving faster than I can type and paste link.
i have a cabin there at the hot springs. spent the night there last night. went up on the hill to look at the fire last night. wasn’t doing much. now it looks as though we may lose our place…
