Postcards from the Edge....


July 16, 2008, about noon...

Here are some photos from Eric Walters of the action in Anastasia Canyon this morning (picture taken from Poison Oak Hill).

The yellow arrows show the dozer lines.









This is the View from Lambert Flat...















And here are more views from Poison Oak Hill of the Sikorsky S61-N - known as "Chopper four five six" - working the fire front.

This is the fire front known as the slop over. The fire in the photos I took was moving northward. Firing operations were not apparent at the time I took the photos but are going on as I write this.
