A coworker told me that during a multi year drought many years ago he was walking the Yellowstone riverbed near Pompey’s Pillar and found a Bowie knife that he thought came from one of the old steamboats that came up the river in the 1800s.
Yeah I noticed that and also the reporting was gone on the news last night on the Collins fire. Fri. morning it was 300 ac with crews working all night to get a handle on it , Sat. morning it was 1200ac & 20%,Sat night 2000 ac & 20%, Sun. morning on news report said 3000 ac no % and last night it was not reported on the news with the 2 other fires...and it has never come up on inciweb.
What day did the Collins Fire start?
Thursday is when I 1st saw the smoke plume & Fri I was in Reserve at mill and Jimmy told me his son was on it and it was 300 ac heading east out of the corrals.
As of yesterday's reporting (6pm ish), the Collins fire was 3030 acres and 80% contained, with a containment date of 4/11. Sounds like they think they have that one wrapped up.
So where did you find info? It was not on inciweb again this morning or the local news.
Some info, won't give you containment %:. http://www.wildcad.net/WCNM-SDC.htm
I should have included it in the first post, but the Situation Report from NIFC. It is sort of a internal summary of what is going on across the country with respect to fires. There may be a bit of interpretation and reading between the lines, so can't take everything always at face value.
I think it burned my downed wood stash.
Good luck to ya
So far our “three days of snow” has amounted to about three hours
