Has the Middle Fork of the Salmon river been affected by forest Fires?
I know this is a long shot, but I wonder if anyone knows if the Middle Fork area has been burned recently. Especially an area called Vanity Lakes. If you haven't actually been there in the last 1-2 years, please don't submit an answer. If you are able to name the Forest Service Guard station in that area, I will know that you know what you're talking about. I have looked on Google Earth and the Vanity area looks burned but I can't tell for sure. The person at the ranger district office did not have "boots on the ground" experience so could not say for sure. I was to Vanity summit in Fall 2013 but it was too snowy to go in. What about the toll road cabin, did it get burned?
