Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Shenandoah National Park Fire

Hey Dalton,

Is there any word on what the public can do to help with the situation (donations, etc)?

Oh, I've given up!  Gave up cigars and drinking, but not for fear of forest fires -- just clean living ;).  For boat fishing, we still bring fried chicken though. 

It's odd how we've come from "only you can prevent forest fires" campaigns to college courses in fire ecology. 

BTW, this is a great Simpsons clip.  If you don't grasp the humor, I can't help you ;).

Actually, the above clip may be the best dichotomous key to humans ever conceived.

Gene, this is why Beth doesn't like you smoking those cigars!  

Actually, no laughing matter.  This guy was sentenced to 20 years in jail and fined $60 MM for starting a fire so he could take a selfie video. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3532073/Man-deliberately-started-California-wildfire-destroyed-12-homes-100-000-acres-forest-SELFIE.html

I don't think anyone has posted here about this yet, but there is a 3,000 acre fire in Shenandoah National Park. This might mess up your weekend brook trout plans, depending on where you're going, miles 65-79 and  at least 12 trails are closed. See the Washington Post article on the fire here. Unfortunately, it looks like the Park Service's page on conditions is not functioning.

Hopefully we get some rain out there (and here) soon.
