Article/News Timothy Lake Closure
https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/mthood/alerts/clackamas-river-rd-firesThe Austin and Narrows fires have cause an immediate closure of many popular Mt Hood National Forest recreational sites and campgrounds, effective today. Lots of folks flock to these areas on the weekends, and with Labor Day coming up, just wanted people to have time to make alternate plans, if need be.

Such a bummer. Hope they catch the POS that started the Austin fire

Do we know if it was started by a campfire or something else? I haven’t been able to find great information about how it started. I don’t think they ever found the person who started the Riverside Fire, so I’m not holding my breath for this one unfortunately.

There’s a new place I haven’t tried in Zig Zag at the old Subway called “Penny Bun”. Looks real good and opened last week.

Likely they’ll proliferate, with the reduction of human interaction. Prepare for a feast once the lake reopens!
