It sounds like this fire could have a serious impact on the Lower McCloud. My understanding is that while it is not quite there yet, it is moving down the ridge and has already hit much of Hawkins and Ladybug canyons.

Worse, it appears that the USFS is planning to wait until it hits the river to stop it. This map shows the fire line running from about the Conservancy, along the river to the dam.

Pray for the McCloud, folks. She needs it.
