New Forest closures central Idaho

[IDLassie]

Anyone coming to central Idaho with unit 28 tags better be checking the new closures they just listed today.
It's not pretty and things are going to be crazy and crammed jammed packed with hunters.
Black Eagle Red Rock grew together yesterday/last night. Now 50k acres. The closure is unreal!

Fire season isn’t over till it snows a few feet. If all those fires got the wind we did yesterday, it was pretty nuts.

Friday was a bad day for fires in Idaho, for sure. Cold front brought high winds and no rain or snow. The Valley fire just outside of Boise came up out of nowhere and spread exponentially. Never seen a fire year quite like this one in fifty years living in Idaho. There have been really big ones before, but not so many large fires in so many different places, so late in the year.
