From this point you can see the area that burned during the afternoon and throughout the night of the 20th. Look for the regeneration of trees with older snags and skeletal trees. The initial strategy was to anchor and flank the fire. Hose lays were used from the creek bottom up the southern edge (right flank). Stand 2 is on the northern edge (left flank), this is where the hand crews put in direct line. Spots along the edge were dealt with individually. The intent early on August 21st was to continue to flank the fire to the rock rim above. As the day progresses the crews crossed Trail Ridge and dropped into the next gulch (now known as Clayton Gulch).
