For all of us that have spent time in the Gorge, it holds a special place in our hearts.

We are all hoping and praying that this inferno will be under control soon. For the residents along the Gorge, we are sending positive thoughts your way. When this is over, we will all be there to rebuild the beautiful, peaceful place we know.

I spent Tuesday like a lot of Oregonians, watching the Columbia River Gorge burn. On Monday it was a small sadness, but by dawn it was a catastrophe, doubled in size and blazing west through forests, down trails and past historic landmarks I know well. I scrolled through hundreds of photos, read heartbreaking tweets and watched the infrared video that showed the true devastation Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning I woke up and kept looking. I can’t stop looking.
