    Bummer. Has been on my bucket list for a few years. You snooze, you lose.

    Well, at least there will still be a place for models to hang out...

    Seriously, since the log appears to be partially out of the water at one end (?), it's gone, or at least most of it will be burned.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...

    CBS News had a doctor on this morning that reported the smoke particles are much finer than COVID-19 and the masks don't screen them.
    Gotta get a respirator like the fire fighters wear.

    Pretty sure that statement was BS.

    Must've been psychosomatic. Sure seemed to help.

    A quick search finds that the COVID virus is anywhere from 70-140 nanometers, usually around 100 nanometers (range take from multiple site, some variation between). Wood smoke is 100-200 nanometers. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/es981277q

    They're closer in size than I assumed, for sure.

    Jumped in the truck this morning. I could smell the smoke as soon as I walked out of the garage. Could see the smoke in the air just looking to the end of the block. Mountains? What mountains.

    I backpacked up near the Cameron Peak fire last weekend. I'm really glad I got that trip in when I did. It's been a bucket list kind of trip for me and I'd be pissed if I missed out on it.

    Correction, I guess after they surveyed the damage, much of the immediate hanging lake area survived. Gotta love bad info.

    The last 3 mornings I have had fine ash on my truck.

    Good to hear. The Hanging Lake and tunnel assets were high priority protection areas.

    We need rain.
