The fires are still burning. But we are safe here, with no evacuation planned. Not true of Diamond Lake - they are on notice to plan for evacuation, and only campers with reservations are being allowed into the area.
Last Thursday Rich and I hiked to Boundary Springs, this origin, at least groundwise, of the Rogue River. Today, that area is now closed to hikers.
We were handed a fire map yesterday. What you are looking at: The pink area is the area affected by the Crescent Ridge fire. The red trails are the ones that have been closed to hikers.
For us, it is not the fire, but the smoke. Rich and I deal with smoke off and on during each day. My sinuses suffer the most. Daily I have either sinus headache or headache bordering on migraine. Ibuprofen is becoming a daily staple.
