Beautiful shot. As sad as seeing the scarred scorched earth it is amazing to see the renewal

Looks similarly to 231, 291, or 395. It’s sad to see but the growth is strong.

Some of those burnt out trees have been standing there since the 70s, I think.

Many (most?) people don't realize past burns are necessary to prevent spread of forest fires.

After years of Forestry practices of stopping all forest fires, large swaths of timber became tinder boxes, leading to enormous forest fires.

When fires are allowed to burn (with the exception of populated areas), a patchwork of new/old timberlands forms, and fires within old forests don't spread across new (recently burned) lands.

Also, burned forest lands are an ecosystem unto themselves, providing more diversity of plants and animals.

YOU Captured the war and its path as it was and will be... epic effort

1994 and 2014 were the two bad fires in Tumwater Canyon.
