Fireball 440 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Still growing. My place is about 15-20 miles south of Greenwood Lake on Hwy 2. Hoping the wind keeps blowing it North. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball 440 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 The power line through Greenwood is a good challenge. I think it's the one from Taconite Harbor to Hoyt Lakes. 100 sled dogs saved. https://www.wdio.com/news/sled-dogs-rescued-greenwood-fire/6210590/?cat=10335 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag6240 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 That might be good for them. They do have being right on Hwy 1 as an advantage, at least I would think. Pretty much the main thorough fare up and into that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greasemonkey Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Watching the news and they are saying winds up to 40 mph out of the west this weekend. That puts it in direct path for the Knotted Pines. Lets hope for once the weather guessers are wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
