Castle Rock Fire






... It was just a year ago that I was the meet director at the US National Paragliding Championships ...

And now the place is burning up. It would have been hard to have a meet there this year, to say the least.


Another night of close calls ended well last night. Fire crews managed to once again save homes that were in the path of the Castle Rock Fire.


But this afternoon, a moderate breeze caused the fire to crest Bald Mountain. The City of Ketchum is issuing a mandatory evacuation order for all people who live or work on the west of Warm Springs Bridge - both north and south sides of the road.


At the incident command post, fire again approached the Sun Valley Resort.


After landing after flying at Heise Hotsprings last Saturday, I could see the smoke from the fire coming our way. It was high and thick to our north. It beat us back to Jackson Hole. The pilots flying at King that day got into it.
