Here are a couple of before and after shots. The Poopout Hill one is bad, the Dry Lake one is not.

Poopout Hill Last November:

Looks pretty bad.


Dry Lake seems to have suffered very little damage, here's the before shot:

Here's the after picture. Looks like mostly low lying brush burned. This one was originally posted by PatrickO on the San G site.

I'll post more comparison shots as they become available. Thanks to Photo Bob and PatrickO!

Thanks for posting these. We have lost so much of our wild forests to fires in the last few years. It feels bad to think about the meaning of it all.
