Centralia Mine Fire

I went there a year or so ago and they began to cover the entire highway with soil. Basically nothing left of the place now, sadly.

Centralia Mine Fire

Graffiti Road is covered up with dirt since 2020, and there isn't much to see. No steam vents or heat patches seen or detected. The majority of the heat patches were northeast of the graveyard, however the fires are so deep into the mountain now, places of interest are only accessible via ATV and dirt bikes.
