I was still in the Navy when that fire went down, but I do know a guy who did his Ph.D. dissertation on the Biscuit fire.

I remember reading two bogus journal articles in a forest ecology class, one biased anti-logging about how the salvage logging destroyed the regen, and a second, (I believe out of OSU, a recent recipient of a large donation from a helilogging outfit, who logged a bunch of it?) biased as well, about how great the logging was in regards to the regen.

One of the most take home messages I got out of my last school experience was what the manipulation of data can do to make your statistics help prove your point.

Great pictures, thanks for posting.

FW- I might have tracked down a gig to keep A.P. and SIL busy for a spell, I'll look in to it tomorrow

When that fire was burning, it smoked us out and laid down ash. You know who took me to the store, there were tourists wondering what the smoke and ash were. Without cracking a smile, my elder told them that "testing" had occured and the ash was fallout. They left town in a hurry. Some people should not be let out in public.

Thanks for the heads up little Ray.
I had forgotten that testing thing, still kinda funny.
