From Geoff Simon: Medora's Burning Hills Amphitheatre Almost Lived Up To Its Name -- April 3, 2021

I have no dog in this fight, but if "they" don't want to tempt Mother Nature again, perhaps a new name for the amphitheater would be in order. 

From Geoff Simon this week:

Flames from a wildfire in the Badlands surrounding Medora threatened the historic community and the Burning Hills Amphitheatre, but an all-out effort by firefighters prevented any serious damage.

The fire is believed to have been sparked by a downed powerline, and is estimated to have burned about 3,000 acres of grass and brush in the rugged hills around Medora.

The community was evacuated as a precautionary measure, but Randy Hatzenbuhler, President of the Theordore Roosevelt Medora Foundation, said the town and properties associated with the Medora Musical were not damaged.
