@JohnM Good to see you sir! I took a look in the area on AWF also and didn't see anything. Didn't hear much of anything on the scanner either. Thanks for the heads up on the Thomas Mtn burn!
Well for folks going down n 330 or 18 they will see a pretty good column to the southeast. The USFS is burning down on Thomas Mtn in RIV County. They have been doing large burns down there forever
