I’ve got a new story in the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine:
In August 2021, I stood with my wife and two teenage daughters at the northern terminus of the Superior Hiking Trail. It was a hot and dry summer. We hoisted our packs and started hiking south, winding through woods, across ridges, into valleys. We stopped at overlooks to admire the blue of Lake Superior on one side and the endless green forests on the other.
Not long after we started, I heard news on the weather radio about a forest fire that was growing fast. The Greenwood Fire had been started by lightning and was proving hard to control. It was, The New York Times would report, moving “like a freight train.”
