Entry - August 20, 1936

9.00 PM We are grounded today. There was a big electrical storm and there is fires all over the park. We are expecting to go out on one at any minute of the night.

Comments from Chris

Although Robert was worried about park visitors starting fires, lighting can be just as devastating. This is a bad time for it as well. You've already heard about how hot and dry Montana has been. These are prime fire conditions.
