Update: Thick smoke continued to blanket Johnson City today...Hopefully today's rains have helped to firefighters to bring the blaze under control. Here is an updated story from the Johnson City Press and a video of the fire.
That fire is crazy me and a couple friends drove up there and it was up to the road at some points, and it likely hopped over it. We got some up-close photos I put them here if your interested. Low quality but cool, http://ctpmn.blogspot.com/
