August 14, 2008: Recovery & Renewal

SPUCK · 08-15-2008, 04:29 AM

We drove up the Al-Can highway in 1985. About the time we came to the Yukon Territory we came around a bend and were greeted by an obviously burned forest. We mused that it looked like the fire had happened recently in the last year or perhaps two at most. Continuing a ways farther we came to a huge bill board on an overlook. It described the "x Fire" (forget the name) occurred in 1956, about 30 years earlier!!! Bummer.
