We were watching the news 2 days ago and there was a report on wildfires in White Salmon Washington. It didn't mean too much to us until we saw where it was. We were very close a week ago. Brings it home. The
campground did have No Campfires signs up. They have had a very dry summer especially considering how much rain this area usually gets (lots).
The fires are still active and only partially controlled. Evacuations have ended.
They are referred to as the "141 Wildfires", 141 being the highway they boarder.
Here's a link to our post about this area. http://streamingtogether.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
