I am posting this for anybody who is headed out to go camping or 4X4 ing here in British Columbia.
This website has alot of good information.

Here is also a link to the current wildfires in British Columbia.

Some of the most scenic areas of the West Coast of B.C. are frying to a crisp as I type here!
Although secondary roads that almost any vehicle can use and logging road access into more Four wheel drive areas, the Gold bridge, Braylorn area one of my favourite places to journey into every year.
It figures that this year I'll have a real truck to use there and the area is all on fire due to some careless person not taking care with his/her camp fire!
I hope they find the person responsible and make him/her pay for the cost of fire fighting all the areas wild fires.
For anybody who doesn't know where I'm talking about, I'll post some links to the area.

I'm have a personal interest in this area as I have friends that have homes and cabins up there.
Hopefully after the fires are all burnt out/put out there will be something left up there.
Either way we will be going up there later at the end of summer.

Well, it looks like the wild fires are all under control!
I wonder just how much of the surrounding forest has been cremated?
Jen and I will be going up there in about three weeks time to look around and check out all the fire damage due to one "Useless" F CK and their inability to properly extinguish their camp fire!
Boy, I'd like to get my hands on that individual!
Strap that perpetrator to a tree and roast 'em like a witch in New England during the 1480's to 1700's in the U.S.of A!

Just how much money do you folks think it cost all of us British Colombians to put out this one particular fire?
