9/22/11 – Another cold, wet day at Sawbill – and we’re happy to have it. In spite of the weather, the Forest Service is still in full fire fighting mode on the Pagami Creek fire. They’ve moved a bunch of firefighters into the Kawishiwi Lake area and have contracted with us to provide them with food and canoes. This is very nice for us because it replaces much of the income we lost over the eight days that we were closed.
The Forest Service has posted a bunch of images from the fire on Picasa. Pictures 142 and 143 are good images of the eastern-most tip of the fire, just south of Polly Lake and only about 8 miles from Sawbill.
