7. The Frank Church Wilderness River of No Return

is approximately 2.2 million acres with surrounding National Forests, BIG. WILD. PLACE. Been there several times, flown over it... several predators of the four-legged variety too. It's probably the best time to be up there as far as temperatures but this is big thunderstorm with wind season and dry lightning that starts fires... much of this area has major beetle killed trees and is very dry... thunderstorms don't produce a lot of precip this time of year but plenty of lightning fires rise up in a hurry overnight. Hope they find them and get the girl back alive.
