I'm glad we kick Rough Creek Fire and its out. Don't get me wrong I like fighting fires I just hate doing in while its unseasonably hot during the Rough Creek fire it was ranging 110-115*F in Riggins and at the spike camp it was 107-110*F. Way hotter than normal for these parts. Still think the electronic site fire was nice small 6 acre burn way up on top of Cold Spring Mountain cool mornings and nice afternoons.
