From this report it does not appear that the two fires have merged.

It is really hard to get a fix on this situation.

We would appreciate the feedback from those living in the Grants Pass/Medford or Brookings/Coastal area.

FYI!

Would you locals please keep your ears on your radios and let us know if these fires merger or don't.

I missed the news here in Eureka so far and I will be taking my grandson (slave for the summer) to Costco soon. I

They had saved the Patricks Creek Lodge as of last nite. Did they save the Lodge at the Oregon Caves?

Is the road you mentioned yesterday the dirt road out of Obrien to Happy Camp?

Grandpa Dave, How many members of the evil Sierra Club are there fighting the fires they helped get started? No, don't tell me! There are none? How can that be? They are tree huggers, so why are they not helping protect the trees? Have you noticed that the major news media have stopped reporting the fires? How curious!

Thanks, Grampa Dave, for the update. Oregon is so near and dear to our family's heart. Our youngest grandchild was born in Eugene. We spent so much time in Florence. We're praying.

Dave...go to www.times-standard.com and click on the local news...click on the DelNorte County fire story.

OK, I'm admitting I'm a Digital Dumbie.:-o)

And how many homes could have been built and jobs created with the timber that is now going up in flames?

"From this report it does not appear that the two fires have merged."

Well, no, it doesn't appear that way, after all...yet. I don't like those containment numbers for the Florence, Sour Biscuit and Timber Rock fires. Doesn't look real good right now.

Still praying. Apparently not hard enough.

You must start hearing this radio program. You can get it on the net www.larslarson.com. He's out of portland, covers the NW. Right now and all week(noon to 4:00pm pacific) he has as guest ONRC and some tree sitter...I'm so mad I'm smokin'! Opps, guess that's just the forests burning down!

We are not really hearing much more than what you are getting, until the 5pm local news and I'll let you know if there's any news you haven't gotten. The Lars Larson show is the best place for updates, they have a reporter from the Selma area checking in.
