Appears to have started near the top of the lake loop descent.

Given the number of idiotic fire pits I’ve seen in Whopper it was just a matter of time until someone burned it down.
Hope they get it under control soon.

My PurpleAir air quality monitor is back online at this link.
This sensor monitors 2.5 µm (micron) sized particulate in the air in real time. Particulate of this size are real small and easily inhaled and captured in the lungs. The sensor displays the particulate level and colour coded Air Quality Index.
TIPS FOR MAINTAINING YOUR FITNESS IN POOR AIR QUALITY
- Consider indoor activity opportunities like going to the gym, walking laps at the mall, or working out along with an exercise app, on a stationary bike trainer, or doing bodyweight resistance training.
- Indoor HIIT workouts can be a time and space effective way to maintain aerobic fitness, while yoga or flexibility training, foam rolling, and strength training can help improve all around durability.
- If you do go outside when the AQI is elevated (>50), keep activity short (less than an hour) and consider limiting intensity to whatever you can maintain with nasal breathing only, which improves air particle filtration.
- Exercise earlier in the day. Particle pollution and ozone tend to accumulate throughout the day, making AQI values generally worse in the late afternoon.
- It is important to note that wearing a fabric or surgical mask during exercise does not provide protection from particulate matter. N95 or KN95 respirator masks may effectively filter out particulate matter, but this is highly dependent on the quality of the fit (nose and mouth covered, no gaps) and may limit your ability (and comfort) to engage in heavy exertion.

Interesting to see us linked like that.
Damn, there’s a lot of the trail in there.
Their map looks a bit skewed, but my best estimate (overlaying their affected area onto the trail forks map) is this.
Gonna need some serious trail clearing parties once we’re allowed back in the woods.

Likely need a bridge or two rebuilt also.

Perhaps the fire will reveal some new opportunities.
