I just got back to Joseph after a busy season in Canada. I received some recent info from the Incident Commander on the West fork wallowa river fire. They have pulled everyone off the fire except for a small local ground crew that will be monitoring the hot spots. The new IC will be doing a revision on the fire this afternoon and they plan to remove the TFR tomorrow morning if all goes as planned.
Strong south wind yesterday, today, and tomorrow, so not missing much flying here at the moment.
I will be around through the end of the month, flying as much as possible. The Wallowa Lake Tramway is very supportive of a fly-in gathering this weekend or the next. I am planning to run laps with the freestyle wing and speed wings and will also have my rescue boat in the water for those wanting to join me.
The site requirements are still P3 with TUR sign off.
It seems to be getting better for friday, maybe a light south on sat, and still too far away for sunday. At least it will be warm, and we won’t be getting 3 feet of fluffy white powder like last year!
