Morning info - Additional Cautionary Evacuation

From Boreal again, they have issued a "cautionary evacuation" of the Gunflint Trail down to swamper lake. This includes east bearskin. However. I believe that this is the same kind of evacuation order we received in 1995 during the Saganaga fire. Updated in the Google map

UPDATE: My dad will be there this morning unpacking our pump system along with our neighbors, making sure they are running, and then getting them cranking. I watched a piece from channel 11 news last night reporting from the line of the mandatory evacuation just before trail center, and it looked really spooky. The photo on the right is taken from that. All smoke and red sun, it looks as if the fire was right there. It's not of course, it is still miles away, but an eery sight none the less.
