Viewed from Hwy120 east of Tamarack Flat at 11:18pm on Aug 25, Sunday.
Best wishes to all who reside in the area and who have families and friends living in the area. Thanks to all the fire crews who have been fighting this ridiculously stubborn and fierce monster!!

lumber people want to harvest the wood.
Nothing wrong with that.
I'm sure the treasury could use the funds to recoup the expenses and the cleanup will help with the recovery.
Maybe if there's been a little more harvesting on the front end we wouldn't be facing the present disaster.

I agree on the harvest but the ones that want to do it are not your clean up and plant new seeds. If they went in and shred their cuttings and manage it right no biggie buy these guys are from old school and just want the logs, no helping the county and giving back our resources that belong to us.

Let's try to keep this thread informative and factual. Please take political rants (I have plenty of my own) elsewhere.
A lot of people reading this thread may soon be in harm's way or have cabins or friends in harm's way. The last thing we should be doing here is rattling our chains. (end of my rant)

The wind has been out of the SW all day.. so why are we getting smoke here in Wawona?
Not that its anything like what you guys closer to the fire are dealing with. Just curious.
..
Eric, have you found a place to land if you have to evacuate?

The morning MODIS Image, 0845 (12 minutes ago)
Looks like it's now a 2 front fire
--- Yosemite and along the line SW down to Pilot Peak
A LOT of movement towards White Wolf and Tioga Rd
---Facing 108 and Tuolumne City
some current activity at Cherry Lake
Pilot Peak to Big Oak Flat entrance and towards Aspen Valley (I don't know precisely where AspVal is)
Yesterday morning for comparison
Yellow squares burned between 6 days and 24 hours ago.
The orange/red squares have burned in last 24 hours. Bright red in last 6 hours.
See the legend top left of the photos.
If you have particular places of concern, send me their coordinates or approx locations and I'll add markers for them.
