I was over there this weekend and the fire seems to be getting worse. They say it is 30% contained at over 100,000 acres and that it has a 75% chance of being contained by 10-1-06. That doesn't look to good to me. I was on the west side of the Chewuck River and you could see the fire spreading down the hill towards the River. The entire valley was filled with smoke and it was hazy halfway to Wenatchee. They say there are over 2,700 people on this fire and on Saturday I saw about 10 more buses of people being transported to the camp.
If you planned on hunting this area, I would look into somewhere else.
