[pct-l] Station Fire -- PCT Closure

[Paul Bodnar]

AsABat,

 

I was able to estimate the fire bounds (inciweb.org site) to be from Mill Creek Summit Ranger Station (about mile 419) to Mattox Canyon (about mile marker 440). It appears that the northern fire line runs partly west along Mt. Gleason Road or Road 3N17 from the Mill Creek Summit Ranger Station. 

 

If anyone has any better information please post.

 

Paul
