cmc Report post Posted June 30, 2011 Amanda - I can only hope they open it back up soon. Not just because I have an archery bear tag but that Covert II I bought from CWT about 3 months ago has been sitting out there for a few months now. Glad I staked it full of batteries and I can't wait to see what it's got on the card. Of course now that it's 100deg out it's not going to be fun hiking in to retrieve it. cmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billrquimby Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Greer residents have been given another pre-evacuation notice. This time we were warned of the potential for flooding "like hasn't been seen here in many decades" because of the Wallow Fire removing ground cover on the river's watershed. They claim that as little as a 15-minute rain could bring down trees, boulders and debris and block culverts and bridges, causing flooding throughout the valley. Officials are serious about this. Crews were stacking sandbags around the Rendezvous Diner this morning, as well as uphill of all the surviving cabins along the east fork road, where they also were installing larger culverts. We think our cabin will be safe, even if the river rises 10-12 feet and fills the valley. However, if the bridges go, we could be stuck on the wrong side of the river for a couple of weeks without electricity for our well, refrigerator and freezer.
