[mattjolley at comcast.net]

Appears that the PCT closure will be in effect from Hwy 3  SE of Etna. on
up through the Marble Wilderness.
Be prepared another 17++  mile trail closure ,  this was posted on the inciweb.org website.
My attempt to talk to the Klamath NF has failed.
The Caribou fire within the Bear Wallow fire complex has expanded from
1200 acres to over 5000 acres.
This fire is NW of Caribou Mnt.,  and about 8 or so miles SSE of the PCT at one point.
My swag at on point in the fire is
