We went camping for 3 days to Dean Gardner campground in Pine Valley. We were supposed to stay another day, but it was so hot that we came home a day early. The only time it cooled off was while we were fishing down by the water... Well, a day after we came home, a large fire started. It started near the Forsyth trail. They say it was from a smoldering lightning strike from a week before. They had to evacuate all the campgrounds, and the local families living there. The fire reached the town and burned down 14 homes. It is 10 days later and they have the town back open to locals only. It is 20% contained. They said they are trying to save the campgrounds and the cabins. We are 45 minutes away and the smoke is pretty thick and we can smell it from here. They have cancelled all camping for the rest of the season.
