not too bad, the entrance of the park got hit a bit, i just drove by about noon today.
the east side of the valley got hit the hardest

Evidently it's pretty hairy up in the hills but the buildings all made it.

Sadly, even if it did all burn, the reduced canopy will likely result in a taller, more obnoxious, "crop." That's what we're seeing at the Preserve. Discouraging, to say the least. My sympathies to the hyper-sensitive folks out there.Maybe all the P-Oak was burned up this time)
Here's a link to an article in today's Napa Valley Register regarding impact of Glass Fire on Bothe.

Looking to make the trek for this year's GTG, weather and 'pandemic' (and other 2020 craziness) permitting.
Really regretting missing last years activities. Was finishing up moving from Ca to Wy and settling in at the time.

Hell yeah! Ain't the same without your encyclopedic knowledge!

Thanks Nate!
I've greatly missed you folks and the park. Looking forward to seeing both again.

So we are looking at the weekend of Nov 13, 14, and 15, 2020?

Yes
If you need some chainsaw parts,you can check on ***********.We have been able to get the Ranger at Bothe-Napa Valley Park to give us a weekend for a possible GTG. We are the Park Forest Practices Group (volunteers) and we have the first weekend in November -> 3 & 4, 2012.
The Park has 50 camp sites, 4 walk-in sites (short walk), 40 or so that will accommodate a small to medium motor home or trailer, some overflow camping in Day Use that will accommodate bigger motor homes, a group camp area, and day use pic-nic areas (where we will have our activities).
We need to start organizing this, so if there are folks who are interested attending; please contact Eccentric, CKelp, or me and we'll start to assemble the agenda. The Park will be off the commercial reservation system by then, so we'll be coordinating reservations with staff. We need lead time.
We'd sure like to get some of the Nor-Cal loggers who worked the Redwoods and big Doug Firs before logging went bust in Cali. Since this is the first GTG held here, we'll have to work out the wrinkles this time and make plans for next year based on who shows and what you'all want to do?
We're hoping this is the First Annual Bothe GTG ... Chime in if you want to attend

Hopefully, the Red Flag warning won't prevent us from removing hazard trees with our chainsaws.
Is not a problem on the creek fire...just got back from 3 days at Edison Lk.
We'll pay attention to red flag warnings as they come up and expire. It's nothing new.
