Oh boy, I really hope that stays small!
Anyone know what corner of the intersection?

Smoke was noticeable at my house 5:40 this morning. I thought it was a remnant of some other fire. Very scary stuff. The first time I have been really concerned about living 100 feet from the edge of Wharton.

Winds are east now which should keep it away from me.

My son lives on Maple and my wife is there now. She said looking west down Maple the view is very smoky.

I believe it’s in the small patch of woods between the powerlines and Tremont. My son is there now doing structure protection/ember patrol. Should wind uo around 50 acres if it stays in those boundaries.

I explored around beaver dam lake last year. Nice area, felt mt miseryish as you got out towards arrowhead drive. Was looking at area for possible rare snake species, no luck though.

I explored around beaver dam lake last year. Nice area, felt mt miseryish as you got out towards arrowhead drive. Was looking at area for possible rare snake species, no luck though.

I tried fishing the north edge (State-owned) of Beaver Dam Lake about 40 years ago. It lasted about 37 seconds.

I parked on Burnt Mill and quietly snuck to the edge of the lake early on a Sunday morning with an old Gibbsboro buddy of mine. I casted a Texas-rigged rubber worm as far as I could. As soon as it splashed the surface I heard a man yell, "Get the hell out of here, I'm calling the Police right NOW!" He was yelling from his back porch. I offered him a congenial G-F-Y- and me and my buddy skedaddled back to my truck.

Ironically, many years later, a friend of mine gained permission to fish there from a long-time resident. I was then able to tag along as a mystery guest with him. Even more ironic is that the guy who yelled at me lived right next door to this woman. I never shared my ejection story with the woman.
The fishing was insanely good.
