Re: The Station Fire Thread
Here's a brief update as of 9-3-09: Interestingly, the ENPLAN Wildfire map still shows no fire having gone to the top of Vetter, but since the news of the lookout's burning is posted on the ANFFLA web site, it is probably true. As a whole, the lines around the southwest, west, and north seem to be h...

As of Monday evening, Upper Devil's Canyon is in flames. I'm not sure anybody can get into the ANF right now. Almost anywhere.

Re: The Station Fire Thread
This was taken off one of the Sierra Clubs section: "During the night the fire extended eastward and has encircled Mt. Vetter and the Chrarlton-Chilao area. The maps show it burning in Devil's Canyon, on Mt. Mooney, and threatening Newcomb's Ranch. It has also expanded into the upper West Fork,...

REI has several types. The large type for winter mountaineering, and the lighter summer type. They have two lighweight types inlcuding the spandex type. I have both lightweight types and prefer the spendex type when wearing shorts. They fit closer to the leg and don't look so large. They work great ...

Re: Bivy info
I have the REI minimalist bivy and love it for three seasons (fall, spring, summer). I also have an Alpine bivy sac which I really like. Used it on Shasta and it was nice. The only problem with these two bivy sacs is there is no pole to hold the bivy sac (netting area) away from your face. So if it ...

I wish I could see more of them. I've only seen one so far, back in May on the C2C trail.
