The SEATs out of Stead initially slowed it way down, but there was a gnarly gorge perpendicular to the left (northern) flank. The fire hopped out of there and is running again.

The fire was kept relatively tame until about 2000 when the aircraft had to go.
Now at 2150 it is running strong.
Bedel Flats, here it comes.
