I posted the following on Google+ but thought I'd repost it here for those of you who can't see it on there.


So we're getting questions about the fire burning in the BWCA and how close it is to our property.  
It's not really very close and I haven't been too worried about it but it has grown a lot in the past couple days.  It's located just east of Ely, about 20 miles west of Sawbill which puts it 30-40 miles west of our property.
If it ends up near us it will have become huge and probably will have burned up most of the east half of the BWCA including the entire area around Sawbill.
The good news is it's much colder today and it's raining some up there.
