According to the map on Inciweb it has burned over Meeks Table.

Yeah, Meeks Table is burned. Truly upsetting. I have only been there twice, wanted to go back.

Are you sure? Have you seen a picture? MODIS/VIRS fire maps are subject to location error. I prefer to be optimistic until I get my boots on the ground and have a look. I am praying it has not.

No more sure than the original statement and map is.
No, I don't have pictures.
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Prove it otherwise, and I'll be happy.

Here is the USFS info on the fire.

We had reservations at Soda Springs CG, 9-13th, they were canceled and a notice of refund Aug. 5th.

Current from Inciweb:
Quote: | Planned Actions
Maintain road and trail closures; inform, assess, and protect local communities; work on building containment lines with limited available resources; Maintain firefighter and community safety with continuing weather concerns. Type 2 Incident Management Team has arrived and assumed command of the incident as of 0600 today.
Projected Incident Activity
Fire will continue to grow significantly on the east flank and into the 2015 Meeks Table fire scar. High winds are forecasted over the next couple of days. Weather events bringing erratic, strong, gusty winds may produce long-range spotting and significant fire runs. |
I sure hope it does not burn the top of Meeks Table, which is "Research Natural Area". That status probably gives some priority to trying to keep the fire from doing so.

I hope so, too. It’s really a cool and unique spot. I’ve haven’t been up there since the 2015 fire-I forgot it had been named for the Table.

I saw a bunch of smoke billowing out from that general direction. This explains it.

If you open the map link I posted you will see the fire is making a significicant move toward Bumping Lake. Latest MODIS/VIIRS hits are from daytime satellite passes earlier today

I think I can see the smoke from my deck in Tacoma.
