In late August driving up 97 the woods were red and orange, with a mix of green. I mentioned in a thread how bad it was. The Klamath area fire was started near the southern part of that beetle kill ! 6000 acres, burn in less than 24 hours! Still not under control. A good friend lives in the area, across the road less than half mill away. So far the fire has missed him. He did loose twenty or so neighbor houses. The area is forest land with ten acre lots. All gone!
