2018 Alexander Mackenzie Trail, West to East

[Trevor]

I don't have a Facebook account, but if anyone that was on the trip does, please let Jennifer and Aron know about Orville's passing. They have a nice picture of him cooking breakfast one could comment to.

It is probably best if someone that was there passed on the news to them.

Yes, very much agree John.

I just sent a message to Jennifer on behalf of all of us to let them know of Orville's passing.

Jennifer and Aron were shocked to learn of Orville's passing and share our sadness and pass along their condolences to all who knew Orville.

Interesting to hear Jennifer say that the natives are paid by the government to clear the trail.  You guys need to get your cut.

That's interesting...I wonder what part of the trail they are clearing.. ::)

[Red90]

She says they are supposed to clear the whole thing.

She says they are supposed to clear the whole thing.

Well, I can say unequivically that the local indians are failing miserably at that task.

...I can also say that I am not the least bit surprised...

I move that any future runnings of the AMT by ALRE be dubbed"Orville Chubb memorial" in honour of or departed friend

Seconded!

[3Rovers]

Agree whole heartedly!

Looks like most of the fires have died off with the rain for the time being.  Here is an overlay of the fire boundary on the trail map.

[Trevor]

That was a good sized burn.

We're running out of green sections on that trail.

[Red90]

The one to the north west of this is 3000 square kilometers.

Looks like that burn made to both the lamberts and the Phillips properties, stopping at the old burn to the east. 

A lot of growth over the past couple of days....did it break 10K Ha?

Here is the detailed fire page.  The perimeter shown may be more accurate.
