yes, the fire engulfed the area between Rt 11, Rand Hill Rd, and Winni Ave--where the campground sign is off 11

wmur has a 360 image of the damage up now:

I collaborated on the campground thread with our forum friend JacksonB. If the information above is correct I fear that JacksonB and his wife have lost their beloved family camp overlooking Alton Bay. ...along with TICTOC and his "Bonnie View". These camps personified Alton Bay and will be greatly missed. Our hearts go out to you!

"The Bonnie View"

cmsmehil: Thanks for that link to the 360 degree view. Devastation....
