Miller burn damage map

Post by jlowery » Thu Jul 21, 2011 7:55 am

We can't get up there yet to see how bad it is, but the USFS posted a soil burn damage map of the fire at http://inciweb.org/incident/2324/.

I overlayed it onto a mapquest map of Miller, Carr and Nicksville, and marked our launches and LZ and the Carr Canyon road. Both launches were involved, as was the LZ and most of the road to launch. Since there have been a couple of heavy rainfalls since the fire we may have some roadwork to do.

The Coronado NF website says the scheduled reopening date is August 20th (http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/coronado/).

This might be one of the reasons that the Miller Road is closed.

Carr Canyon Bridge Looking down the hill. Pretty impressive, huh?

Now it looks about like the Sutherland Trail, maybe a little better.

Holy crap, Morey. Where did you get that picture?

Holy crap is just what I said JLo... How did all of those rocks get moved around on the bridge, fire or rescue? I really miss Miller and Nicks. It's so sad for me. I miss all of you.
