I was watching the news and learned that there is a wildfire at the Red River Gorge, in the exact same area where we camped. The fire is like 3 miles wide and already burned 100 acres. Sad news. It was started by a campfire and has closed Bison Way Trail, Sheltowee Trace, and Indian Staircase according to the news.
My wife and I were going there Sunday for a day hike so I could show her the IS and the rock house.
So much for LNT, huh?:mad:
That's sad.
Maybe it needed a good burning though. Give it 10-20 years and we'll see.
Total bummer, I knew I should have called in last weekend and went with HC and Doctari. I was going to go for an overnighter tonight, but guess that's a no go now. I'm sorry to hear such a pretty area is burning like that.
that sucks, RRG is a nice place to go even though I don't get there enough
****! :mad:
So, any links to current reports? I can't find any & Cinti news hasn't deemed this disaster important enough to even mention it.
I hope the damage isn't as bad as I'm imagining it to be!
Doctari.
it seems that fire is usually a good thing in the long run, but boy, it sure can take a long time for the land to recover.
linville gorge, nc had a big fire in 2000 or 2001 & those areas are still pretty ugly.
i'm sure there are a lot of variables in how quickly an area will recover to the point of eye appeal.
Yeah in forest terms, what is 20 or 30 years.
