I saw this on the Payson Roundup facebook page:
Gila County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Dennis Newman said See Canyon Trail and Horton Creek Trail have been closed after a wildfire started on the Highline Trail above Horton Creek early Wednesday morning. Newman said the Forest Service has resources on the fire, including at least one helicopter that is making water drops. The helicopter is refilling at a nearby site near Zane Grey Estates and from the fish hatchery. He said there is no threat to communities below the fire at this time as it is moving up the Rim.

Re: Horton Fire
Crap. I was going to take my daughter on her first overnight backpacking trip to Horton tomorrow. That doesn't seem likely now

I was going to hike in the area tomorrow, and it doesn't look like that will happen...however, the latest from inciweb is that the fire is 3 acres in size and is 80% contained; hopefully, the fire will be extinguished without causing much damage

Re: Horton Fire
Less than two hours old ... this was just about the time that the emergency evacuation notice squawked across cell phones.

I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

A man's body may grow old, but inside his spirit can still be as young and restless as ever.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Re: Horton Fire
There was no smoke at all from that area today. Just the big Plume from the Horse Fire.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming, "Wow What a Ride!"
