Fire in a horseshoe shape around the town, highway 40 to Gold Bridge closed, Duffy Lake road to Pemberton closed.

Left around 2:30 p.m as the smoke was beginning to filter in .. Not sure if it was from the Blackcombe fire or a combination of both.. I dug and dug and panned for about 6 hours... No freakin wonder there are no claims registered on that creek... Nuffin there Never even found a single flake

I was worried about my friend who has a farm between Lytton and Lillooet, on the Fraser. Your Forest Service site explained that the Intlpalm Fire is on the opposite side of the river but it's still not good news for others living on the West side of the river. Maybe the fire will remain high in the mountains and/or rain will finally come. Good luck to everyone in Lillooet, too. Thanks, again. Last Edited By: bignug 08/04/09 22:11:31. Edited 1 times.
