11/22/16 @ 0500 hrs- DIVISION C, Section C6- Waterford Twp, Wharton State Forest- near Fleming Pike and Sandy Causeway Rd. 'Shadow Wildfire'. Currently estimated at 202 acres. I hear Waterford Township is reporting it contained.

It didn't look that big to me:D

We were sent there in 2000 I believe. Talking to the local crews it was all arson. There was a war going on with law enforcement and the illegal marijuana growers. They threatened to burn an acre for every plant destroyed. It was the same time of year too. I wonder if things haven't changed much.

Don't forget to change your smoke detector batteries as well.

Yea. I heard there was a lot. I was asked today by someone who lives out there why so many were needed for such a small fire. I reminded him all fires start out small and there are no hydrants out there so they need to bring their own water;)

Luckily I heard it was minor this time. Heater backfired.

Gust front came through. Waiting for the rain.

Taking the kids to Batsto today. They always have fun there. http://www.batstovillage.org/halloween.htm

When I lived in my townhouse they seemed to bus them in. We would have to just sit on the front porch and has out candy as the line formed. Now we just get a few local kids which are mostly friends of my kids.

You must have missed my original post. We used to get them when I was fighting forest fires out west.

I used smoldering stumps:)

I recently met someone from Illinois who is a mushroom hunter. I've alway heard about chicken and gen if the woods. I never realized they were two different types until he showed me the difference. I sent him some pictures and he identified them for me. Though I still wouldn't attempt to eat them.

I'd try it. It looks like a good thing to keep in your bag as an emergency. Something that will satisfy hunger but doesn't need to stay cold or will get crushed in the bottom of your bag. Fighting forest fires out west I always kept a MRE in the bottom of my day pack. I was thankful to have it...

It was posted last week. Yesterday it made it to social media. After it being a hot topic for a day it was deleted from Craig's list. Logistically it would have never worked.

I alway thought that $200 was a very low estimate to close off the tower. Kind of like when I buy something without my wife's permission it leaves less explaining when it was cheap;)

They must have done a lot more damage then the fence. According to this article it cost $200 to install the whole thing and they did over $1000 in damages. http://pinebarrenstribune.com/dep-officials-restrict-public-access-to-famed-apple-pie-hill-fire-tower-p293-165.htm

It's all about the $$$$$

Great day to be out there. I wanted to head out there today but the kids soccer is really cramping my style.
