Originally published on July 13, 2021 1:59 pm This week, Think Out Loud has traveled to the Klamath Basin to have conversations with people affected by the severe drought in the region. The Bootleg fire is currently the largest burning in the U.S. Rancher Becky Hyde is a mile and a half from the fire. She says, “If you take the drought, and then you add the fire on top of it ... you have ranchers in this area who are in a horrible situation.” If you’d like to comment on any of the topics in this show, or suggest a topic of your own, please get in touch with us on
