9/23/11 – The Forest Service has decreased the size of the area that is closed due to the Pagami Creek fire. They have reopened a number of the roads south of the fire, but not all of them. Close to Sawbill, they have reopened the Parent Lake Road (CCHS #3) which is the road leading west toward Kawishiwi Lake. They also opened the Fourmile Grade Road (FR 170), which is the road that heads west of the Sawbill Trail toward Fourmile Lake and to the Trestle Inn, our favorite little backwoods bistro.
The Kawishiwi Lake and Hog Creek entry points are still closed, as is the Kawishiwi Lake Road (FR 354). – Bill

The new map of the closed area. The light green blob is the actual fire, the darker green is the closed area. Sawbill is on the right side of the closed area. I’ll post a link to the high resolution map as soon as it appears on the Pagami Creek fire website.
