Tomorrow's #SitRep is going to look far different than today's. I'm still camping with very sketchy cell service, but a quick look at the fire map shows a hellish day for our neighbors on the other side of the Rockies, fire everywhere...
I'll be back in civilization tomorrow and will do a deep dive on #HaydenFire, #ElkhornFire and all the new IA going on in surrounding areas.

Big blow up on the #ElkhornFire this evening.
The Salmon River is temporarily closed. Rafting groups being held above the fire will be released (and likely escorted through the fire area) later tonight or tomorrow morning.

#ElkhornFire 1,123 acres burning in the Frank Church #Wilderness right on the Main Salmon. The river is currently still open to rafters (and I'd expect it'll remain open, though some camp areas/beaches will close in that section).
Fires are extremely common in this area. The fire is staffed; not sure what management strategy will be implemented.
