The beast just keeps going and going.
Coulterville is the new Mariposa.
Detwiler has grown to 70,000 acres and is feeling its oats.
Noon news pegs containment at 10%.

Here's another really good one someone just linked on facebook. Don't think it predicts but you can look at previous days and make inferences.
https://www.airfire.org/data/bluesky-daily/
Edit: when ran for the previous day the model goes for 71 hours so it does predict I guess. Not actual data but a model prediction.

Drawing a blank.. it's been a long time. Fred Schoeffler was the supe. Pretty interesting guy. He let us wear those Ghengis Khan Hotshots shirts. Cut line or die!

Coo, I worked for RioBravo before they were Rio Bravo in the late 80's. I got to work with FireUseModules in the early 2000's when I was doing fire research and I really dug that compared to 12+ hours of ground pounding and running a saw. More obs and analysis with the FUM; we still got our hikes on but we got to use our brains too!! ;^)
Man, those headlamps were heavy! Thanks for the coo pics! My second year another guy and I were a 2 man hot spot squad HSS(he and I took PT very seriously and could hike circles around the crew) and that was kik-a$$. In So-Cal a HSS is pretty helpful in steep yucca/ceanothus terrain or anytime spotting, jackpots rollers were a concern
