Sweet Creek Fire - Mapleton Oregon- 08/31/2020  TheBite
I was on my way home from a little fishing skunk session at the coast and all the way in the bay down in Florence I could see the first columns of smoke rising. By the time I got to Mapleton things we're pretty serious...
Seeing that much of a forest just go up in flames is humbling at the least and out prayers go out to the surrounding communities.
Such a blessing that the mighty Siuslaw river is there to protect most of dwellings from the fire but still a few homes, and a lot of wilderness at risk.

Maybe there will be some epic Morel hunting in a couple seasons as a small silver lining...


Sorrry about the shaky footage on some of this, I was using a little hand cam so I could get the cool time lapse shot with the GoPros...
