Time for more large water/retardent bombers and more old growth logging with proper cleanup afterwards. It doesn't have to be as bad as they let it be, City voterrs don't have a clue what happens in the bush unfortunately. Pouring rain here right now, unfortunately accompanied by lightning.

Jasper Park Lodge luckily came out pretty much unscathed as well as the old train station/museum and most of the general infrastructure. The big lodge that burnt was actually the Maligne Lodge, Sounds like1/3 of the town or 358 structures did not fare so well though. Mostly residential and small businesses. A truly devastating outcome for a small tourist town. Visited there many times over the years and easily one of our favourite places to hang out and enjoy the mountains, glaciers and backcountry. First time was 1973 as a young man moving west and then every few years since then. They've got lots of cuddly furry things too. Too bad it wasn't raining like this recently. From June 2022. What really fed the fire was many many miles of beetle killed forest just south of town which is where the fire started.

Very cuddly - I'd stay in the truck if I were you.

Since I first saw them in Feb. '64, I knew those Beatles were up to no good!

Yeah, I'm actually standing by our trailer door. They're just browsing on the spring dandelions and generally won't bother you. Don't want to test that theory though. A few parks guys and gals showed up and were super annoying so the bears left.
