I just spent 45 minutes talking to Andy Baker about this.  I have been down below, in that gully, several times.  If memory serves, there was *another* burn barrel down there, and a place where it looked like people had camped.  It was close to the water.  I assumed it had been used by a trail crew.  Right at that spot was a "private property" sign.  Did the fire start on private property?  Mr. McDonald gave me the impression the fire started miles away from there. //  This is starting to get frustrating.  I think perhaps you could do a follow-up piece, Mr. Wohlforth, and just lay out some facts.  How can we avoid similar events in the future if we don't even know how this one happened?
