The Creek fire - 09/09/20
The creek fire in the central California foothills has grown into a 170,000 acre monster.
It just started last Friday.
No containment in sight.
It’s destroyed hundreds of buildings and caused the evacuation of thousand of people as it encroaches on several small mountain towns.
Hundreds of campers got trapped and had to be airlifted out, leaving their cars, campers and boats to burn.
Some of you have seen my many posts and photos on trout fishing.
Two of the four lakes that I fish regularly have burned right up to the shoreline.
The other two are in jeopardy.
I hope the trout populations can survive the ash and charcoal in the water.
If you want to see some amazing and terrible photos, look up “the creek fire, Shaver lake Cailfornia”.
