Today’s post is brought to you by Dr. Joe Wheaton’s twitter feed. Please share it with every Californian you know. At least all those that live in flammable areas. (Meaning all of them in oxygen-based areas.)
This is Baugh Creek (a tributary to the Little Wood in Idaho) and this is part of the Sharps Fire.
The Sharps fire in Idaho was started by an accidental spark from target practice and has now burned more than 65,000 acres and was finally contained by crews at the end of August. I’m hoping there’s more water upstream that we can see in this photo where some beavers can go shopping because otherwise those are going to be some mighty hungry dam-builders.
