Ez ryder Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Was talking with a bud yesterday. He is a bit upset. His old trailer got a bad infestation of mice like real bad so he scraped it bought a brand new one 5 weeks ago now it went up in flames in the fire and to make it worse he hauled his trailer with his sleds and atv home to get them ready for hay days just before the fire started and they blocked the roads .

That's fucking heartbreaking. My friend has a cabin at McDougal Lake and it's still standing. Same thing though ice castle and ATVs and boats are all stuck in place.

Fireball 440 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'm going up tomorrow morning to grab stuff like generator, chainsaws, etc. & bring the plow truck home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag6240 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I was just looking at that map @Fireball 440 Looks like its not quite to the Knotted Pine but knocking on the door! I read they are warning everyone all the way up through the Gunflint trail to be prepared to evacuate..... Hopefully this thing doesn't get as big as the Pegami fire of 2011 that burned 92,000+ acres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the dead balsam and spruce trees up there this fire will continue to spread, yes get what you can out if your place before the wind shifts towards the lake.

Fireball 440 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Apparently my friends cabin is still standing on McDougal. Looks like the fire picks and chooses which cabins to destroy. Blue dots are cabins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
