I do not think there is an immediate threat but a level 1 evacuation notification has been listed for Lost River, Mazama, and Rendezvous.

Interesting. The fire hasn't shown any growth to the South in quite some time.

95,000 acres this morning, up 10,000 acres overnight. Isn't that about 1/5th of the Pasayten Wilderness?

A neighbor at Beyond Lost sent me this from the meeting last night. "When the fire has reached the respective lines, they will give the evacuation notices ... The black dots represent fire breaks they're either working on or old ones ... They said the only one they're considering right now is from Yellowjacket up the hill and then following the road to the east ...so doesn't help us much ... The question was raised about adequate fire personnel, and they say they've put requests in for more, but due to the other fires and hurricanes, there aren't enough resources to go around, either people or equipment."

MODIS shows fire is moving south and has burned the upper part of Monument Creek drainage. That creek leads into Lost River. Light wind is forecast out of the NW which is exactly what we do not want to see.

Yes, the modis map shows the fire has moved south about half way between the level 1 and level 2 fire evacuation lines. By my rough estimate. EDIT: Just saw this on the Diamond Creek FB page from last night. It looks inevitable that evacuation notices will be out in 1-2 days. "Aerial reconnaissance this afternoon over the Diamond Creek Fire reports the fire has backed into the Monument Creek drainage and is approximately 1-1 1/2 miles from the Level 2 action decision line."

Photo this afternoon from Beyond Lost. Hikers and high hunters are being warned of the possibility Harts Pass Rd might be closed and exit via Rainy Pass.

Screen shot of Modis map this PM. Very active and may have passed Level 2 evacuation.

Oh man, looks like the fire is certainly destroying Monument Creek at this point. Really hoping the forecasted rain rolls in next week.

Whoa. Lake of the Woods will be no more.

It is Level 2 this AM. Wind from the north will continue to push it south. Rain possible by Sunday. Hope we have that long. ""Incident prioritization worksheet social/political considerations moderate. The Pasayten Wilderness is closed east of the PCT. this will impact the high country hunt 9/15 through 9/25. Level 2 evacuation notifications will be implemented on 9/13. The PCT may need to be closed at a later date. the incident has been active for 51 days and has been through multiple transitions and managed at the type 1,2,3 and 4 levels. The current type 3 team has held multiple cooperator meetings, a community meeting attended by 377 people, and will host a second community meeting on 9/13."

Say goodbye to the Cathedral Lakes, and possibly the Tungsten Mine. https://photos.app.goo.gl/WWyAcDNMN5F5Cou12
