Some idiot dipshits were lighting fireworks on a trail in the Columbia Gorge and now our national treasure is in engulfed in flames. Some of my favorite trails outside of Portland are no more.

I'm not saying said idiots who set off the fireworks shouldn't be set on fire themselves...PonyBoy - ... just saying it'll be back :)PonyBoy

- It’s the narrowest point in the canyon so winds are the highest here. So if you get a fire here, it’s the worst of all possible places.wagshaft
