Coalville Ut

There is a lot of rain in the area today and forecast for tomorrow as well.  It's a good thing as there are a lot of fires around.  One of the more dramatic is the North Buffalo fire in Wyoming.  As of two days ago it had consumed over 12K acres fueled by pine park beetle stressed conifers. On Wednesday we drove up Signal Mountain for a look at this fire which was 5 days old.

Last night I did some internet searching and found this NOAA Satellite view of the fire


Our campsite was on Jackson Lake just to the west of Signal Mtn.  You can see the Teton Range running west of Jackson and Jenny Lakes.
