It's hard to compare fires
It's hard to compare fires sometimes, so many different barometers. The Talent fire by Medford didn't destroy much forest, it basically ripped through residential neighborhoods, destroying homes. The multiple western Cascade fires wiped out a lot of forest, history, but also many towns (have several friends lose homes in those fires). Both are unprecedented for western Oregon. This current Rum fire is in mostly remote mining / timber country (lots of mines in this area), but the towns / homes along the Rogue are at risk, and if we get westerly winds, the town of Merlin is already under the lowest evacuation warning (see map above), just east of there is Grants Pass, with over 40k people. Currently, the winds have been from the north at that elevation, which is likely why the fire didn't cross the Rogue northward (along with good fire fighting actions).
Here's a northerly view(s) from Bear Ck Road in July, just south of the area that's currently burning;

^ I had an off year doing stage crew at the Oregon Country Fair once, well, I kept hurting myself, lol. One day overextened a thumb setting up a drum riser for Ram Dass (the crowd, him, time, it was like a scene from a movie, beyond surreal). Another day Big Steve Parrish gave me a blood blister moving a bass amp / cab, can't remember the third... who said meeting fame would be so painful!
Meanwhile, went rockhounding today SE of Eugene OR near Fall Creek Reservoir, perfect day for it too!

I like Fish Rising too. I have a pristine original U.K. press of the LP in my store right now, that came in with a sizeable collection of Metal and Shredder Guitar records that is the best cared for large collection (about 700 LPS & 12") that I've seen in the 17 years my shop has been opened. Really enjoying taking a deep dive into Hillage's prime solo work. Musically, Fish Rising may be better, but the photo of Steve and the enhanced "L" on the cover of "L" makes me smile. It is acid-drenched music at it's finest!

Here we see Denver & Rio Grande Western No. 485 & 483 K-36 2-8-2 Mikados (Baldwin 1925) pulling a freight train.
Photographed by Otto Conrad Perry near Coxo, Colorado June 10, 1942
Coxo is the former site of a small siding (800 ft.) and telegraphone booth, located near milepost 332.2. The siding was removed in the early 1960s, but the telegraphone booth was restored and remains on the site today.
Today, Coxo is more commonly associated with the railway crossing of Colorado Highway 17 located below Windy Point, often referred to as the "Coxo Crossing"

^ In the midst of a Holocaust deep dive ... half a dozen audio books over past 3-4 months ... so can't help but ponder how at the very moment the train above is doing its thing, there's likely a train(s) in Europe packed with people on route to a concentration camp to meet their demise - to say nothing of the people who will have died on route :-(
