That must have been the place I went by yesterday on my way up 87. There were a lot of vehicles there, a lot of different fire vehicles, and I assume trucks that carried the workers there. I guess it must have been what you're talking about. It was pretty close to what had already burned. But I don'...

@ALMAL
I got the flatbar version.

@ALMAL
I have one, too, a Salsa Journeyman, but haven't gotten around to doing a tour yet.

@SpiderLegs
The maps I've been looking at on Inciweb show that Box Camp Trail from upper Sabino, and Palisades Trail, Bug Springs, Soldier Camp, and a few others on the SE side of the range are so far unaffected. Not many left that are unaffected, in other words.

@chumley
Kinda makes you go "hmmm!!??" doesn't it?

@SpiderLegs
Oh, ugh, sounds nasty! Hope it (and you) get better soon!

I just heard from a couple of friends in Tucson saying the smoke is the worst they've ever seen it. One friend has lived there 65 years and has never seen anything like it.

@RedRoxx44
Not all of them. A friend of mine lives on the corner of 89 and House Rock Rd. Not evacuated. The FS is setting up a temporary tank there, to create a sprinkler system.

How to pronounce "it"?

@rwstorm
I had forgotten about that page, thanks! The inciweb map every day has been helpful, though. Shows all the trails, so I know what I'm looking at.

@jrousoshammond I heard about this. I heard they said it was backburning, but a friend of mine, watching from town, said it sure looked like it got away from them. That's just rumor, of course, but the photos I saw, taken from midtown, were pretty spectacular last night. On the current inciweb map,...

Nate used to be a fee collector when I was a tour guide. We used to chat about his last name. At the time, about 5 years ago, he didn't know if he is related to ol'JW. He always promised he'd look into it, but I don't know if he ever did. Powell is a pretty common name, anyway.

@SpiderLegs
If I winter in Tucson (new RV, more choices) I may look at those, and will rejoin SAHC. I lived there from 1986-99.

@SpiderLegs
I'm not a member of any of those, and won't join. The only one I ever was a member of, Arizona Hiking, was so shudderingly gawd-awful I took myself off of it.

@SpiderLegs
Sounds like Wilderness of Rocks is going to be toast.

@RedRoxx44
I lived in Eagar. The ash fell in our yard, and you could see the plume, 135 miles away.

@SpiderLegs
It got burned pretty good in 2003 as well, if memory serves.

@cactuscat
Yikes.

@SpiderLegs
Yikes!

How long is a piece of string? It depends on numerous factors. Some never reopen, by the way.
