If we have a second polar vortex it will be the second in a row. This will be THE second MAJOR VORTEX. A POLAR vortex can really mess with the weather. The first one wreaked havoc on the East Coast and in central parts of the Midwest. Scientists at the national oceanic and space and administration are calling for NO El Niño and NO la Niña. They are however party for a second polar vortex.

ATTENTION RESIDENTS OF REPUBLIC. Our third annual Day of Service is
coming up on Sept. 13th. As a tribute to those men and women who gave
their all on 9/11/2001, and in gratitude to those who are currently
giving their all to protect us from this year's relentless series of
fires, we as a community can GIVE BACK to our community by participating
in this year's Day of Service. This year's participants will be helping
to clean and restore grave stones and markers in the old section
of the Republic Cemetery. Project leaders will be on hand to instruct
and direct the work. This event will go from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon,
followed by a picnic lunch. Cleaning tools and materials will be
provided. Bring your own lunch. For more information call Leda Hagel at
509 486-8090 or Brandi Abdallah at 509 775-3488. Community involvement
is key to our success. Please show your appreciation by joining us.

The Very Best
The Very Best
In the heavily public areas, maybe is the best answer. Folks go to a forest to see trees, a simple concept. BUT, folks aren't safe or aware of conditions (city folk at least) and want to see more than trees so it has to be made 'safe' for them (ignorance can kill). These are the folks that want to see the bears or bison or ???, then treat them as pets. Often this mix does not go well for either species.
The YNP valley was supposed to have some 'low intensity' burning (between the in/out loop roads) but the morons that ran it, allowed it to run some trees, killing off some acres. [The proof is there for anyone that can read fire. This particular burn was written in primer language, anyone can read it.] It was unprofessionally managed and inexcusable. Public lynching could have fixed that, but the public is often ignorant and generally uncaring (20 second news fixation, move on to the next story, life is a series of snippets). The park put up signs explaining all the good reasons for having fire, yet fail to mention that THEY killed the trees, oopsy fashion. No one got fired. That area is also tree thinned, some, to remove hazards (widow makers, leaners) so no one gets hurt and they don't sue plus to allow visibility (to see MORE of the park).
If you get deep into the areas just south of the valley (excluding the ski area) you'll see a different story. If you get deep into the high country (miles way from anyone, yet below the tree line) where it really IS pristine, you'll see less diversity (plants compete 24/7/365, some lose), more treefall (natural, not logging garbage) and healthier forests. Still because of over protection, they're not completely healthy.
Big Oak Flat road (Rim fire) was thinned for the same reason, public safety plus a lot of the roadside acreage was maintained by private parties (either owning it or leasing it). There are public and private (some churches) campgrounds there too. LOTS of folks travel that area (still too populated for me). There are also lumber corporations up there but some of that is kept quiet and small. [That road is hallowed ground, a CDF firefighter lost her life on a pissant fire there and she was a local. I always remember her when I drive through there. A section of that road is named after her.]
The ENF (literally my backyard, 20 minutes up the hill) has been logged for generations so there are clear cut areas (lined with trees a few deep along the roadway to hide the ugly gashes), a (very) few native areas but it is generally much reduced by 150 years of logging.
If you want to see a WELL maintained forest, go to Custer State Park in SD. They still have natural (or man caused) fires, some large but it is never a blow out like Yellowstone. They even limb up the trees (the bison help there) and it's still pretty.
