Leonard , you haven't been out smoking them "stogies" out in the woods have you???? Seriously I hope every one gets out alive and the fire gets extinguished soon! My thoughts and prayers go out to these people!

It's contained and people have gone back home. The total was around 60 acres. Sunshine canyon was a big hard rock mining area back in the 1800's

John according to what I heard on the news , they are saying they think it was a camper or a hiker. During this drought we all are having , I hope everyone has a spark arrester on their equipment and that its in good working order IF-N-WHEN checked by the long arm of the law!

It's really dry with a lot of dead grass and we have been getting big winds. One of the big fires a few weeks ago was started by guys shooting guns.

With 6 months of ungodly deluge forgot that others high and dry. Looked at rain gage as son went to work a few minutes ago as yet another 1 1/2" since 5pm glub glub glub....John.. we decided to quit gaging rain in inches a feet are more aprapoe

Had a solid 1" in my rain gauge 24hr
That's sayn something for us
Thankfully we had a short drying out spell, other wise more "stuff" would be sliding off hills
Collapsed bridges, washed out roads, sliding hillsides, reservoirs at bursting capacity
Billions of $$$ the state doesn't have, I feel my wallet getting lighter already
The prior two years we couldn't buy a drop of rain, now our cup runnith over.
Stand by, this to will change....wait for it, wait

The fools at Shasta got scared and dumped a FULL years water and blew away everything downstream-new gal running the show got scared her panties might get wet. Was full now 40' below Just part of the gotta raise the dam 20"(never done ever with such a dam) and just more bureauratz insanity. Sorry for Colorado being dry again but keep seeing folks skiing there so thought it was wet too. Perceptions based on news are wrong as usual ...bummer-John

[Ornery Cuss]

John, do you think they will ever raise the dam ?
Have been hearing this conversation nearly 30 years.
The last couple of years have been more serious conversations
Resort owners on the lake are starting to get nervous hearing an 18' higher lake level
The new Antler's I-5 bridge is sopposta be just high enough to allow the higher lake level
18' keeps the lake just under the railroad, but have been hearing this 30+ years

They are pushing harder than ever even though Army Corp report say NO. Enviro report says NO. Engineers say NO. Soooo that makes it a go. The ez pz Sites site by Williams is 1/100 the cost,will hold more water, recharge the San Juaquin groundwater aquifer so yes the dam will be raised sic sic sic- John
