Just dropping in to say Fuck YEAH, emcee. Good work on this one. Awesome to support the FFs. Big ups.
Also, hell YEAH to dookey - my 8yo daughters liked Northstar wayyyy more than expected. Thanks dookey!
Gee whiz, it's almost like a community of like-minded people around here.
Lots of Jon gLove flowing, that's for sure.
And damn sure is nice to have clear blue skies again.

Christmas Valley peeps, on your toes!
Fire is 4 miles upwind Nice looking plume on the GOES 17. I haven't followed closely enough to have any clue what's going on, but it looks like the hot spot near Caples Lake blew up last night and is moving or has moved between Little Round Top and S@T. Wind is gusting 20-30 in your direction for the next day. SLT peeps, maybe something to watch as well.

The article is a little unclear. 60,000 plants total or 60,000 in each GH? Is it tribal land or federal land (or is that the same thing)?
Similar bust on Navajo land recently. Https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56835897

That's so fucked up. I'm confused about the demoted police officer's role in this.

It's implied that her assailant enjoyed some kind of impunity due to the relationship with the officer. She thought the relationship either emboldened him or intimidated her, or both. Guys don't do this sort of attack without some practice and/or expectation they can get away with it.

I mostly was a bit confused as it almost made it sound like he was there at the time too.

Thanks for your work, ESS.
From USFS Plumas NF, posted by SBTS and related to Dixie but applies here to Caldor and Tamarack.
Fire fighters are actively patrolling areas and when they encounter the public, they must escort those individuals out of the active fire area which hampers their ability to complete fire mop up activities and patrols for new flare ups.
Fires can burn at over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit and even though areas appear to be “out” the fire may burn underground through stumps and root systems for months. Areas that burn become unpredictable with unseen hazards and changed conditions for months and in some cases years after wildfire and even more so in areas of high burn intensity.
The land and resources are highly vulnerable after wildfire. Allowing time for the forest to stabilize and recover is needed for public safety and for the forest ecology to become more resilient.
The US Forest Service is working on initial assessments and suppression repair plans to begin re-establishing trails and roads that were affected by dozer lines. Before volunteers can begin assisting with repairs, hazard tree felling and suppression repair must be completed. Work in areas that are outside of the fire perimeter may begin sooner to repair contingency dozer lines that impacted trails. The area really needs more moisture before tread work can commence.
There are many trees that are now unstable that pose an imminent hazard until those trees may be safely felled. This will take time and some trails may be closed for a longer duration than the immediate fire response.
Soils are affected by fire and can become vitrified. Soils can become hydrophobic and repel rainfall and moisture for 1 to 2 years. Soil can “fluff up” or have a hard crust at the surface and in some areas trail and trail benches have become indistinguishable from the surrounding landscape.
Due to the void of vegetation and strong root systems and combined with hydrophobic soils; erosion and runoff can be expected to increase.
In areas where dozer lines were established, all trail control points have been erased. These areas will be very challenging to reestablish trails due to the lack of vegetation, logs, trees, boulders and other control points that would normally define the trail. Moving forward we will need to work together to preserve soils, re-establish sustainable trail alignments and allow for revegetation to occur, particularly in areas that have extensive dozer lines. Trail establishment will include restoring the dozer line to define the trail by strategically placing logs, rocks and other native material to define the trail and promote drainage. Assistance will be needed to block fall line dozer lines to prevent continued erosion from recreation access.sproing!

Hey,
Your welcome bro. Caldor continues to chunk away inside its containment lines. North East winds predicted today combined with low RH should allow for active interior burning again today.
Kirkwood lake yesterday.
Don’t see these much anymore. Found this one in a random campground and it actually had a dial tone.
Carson Spur looking North late on the day.
Think POW.
