Big Bend National Park Fire
Not caving-related, but of interest to many Texas Cavers. We have been in Terlingua watching smoke and (at night) light from the flames in the far distance. Much of the sky island high country in the Park has been burning since last Thursday. It will recover, but not in my lifetime. Hopefully they will be able to keep it from getting a good foothold in Pine Canyon, one of the botanical gems of the Park. The park has a NEWS Release section on their web site that includes a map showing the extend of the fire. You can go back over the releases and see how the fire and the measures to control it have developed. For those that don’t know, the Diablo Hot Shots are all Mexican Nationals from Boquillas. Here is last night's (4-13) update. https://www.nps.gov/bibe/learn/news/newsreleases.htm DirtDoc
