Wildfire near Trout Lake, WA

The Dry Creek Fire is located between BZ corners and Trout Lake. SR 141 is closed from mile markers 14 to 18. I don't see it on Inciweb, but there is more info here:

I drove by that yesterday at 2pm. I guess it got a lot worse if they closed the road. :( At that time it appeared to be burning in and around a prominent clearcut (slash).

Coming down from Barrett Spur after sunset, we could see the glow!

(No glow in this photo, just smoke spreading far to the east by the raging west wind.)

Here's some glow. This was the last photo I took last night, from Wy'East Basin:

I was on the ridge right below (in front of) Mt Adams earlier that day. That photo puts it in a nice perspective.
