Heads up, I Just read from the LaTourells post on Facebook that they got information from the US Forest Service that the fire van has been lifted.

Here's a few. One looking north toward McDougall lakes, one showing the northern tip of Greenwood Lake and the last showing Sand lake, taken while it was still burning but not really growing. It's a big fire and you can't capture it in one pic.

I read that the final fire ban/closure has been lifted in the BWCA. Here's a good aerial view of the John Ek fire burn area.

I thought it would be worse. Good photo...believe it is looking north. Pointer Lake center-right; the north part of John Ek center left.
