| no partners | | I had not been away from the house since Sunday, so felt the need for some driving around. I hadn't been near the Bighorn Fire since it started, so I decided to head over to Oracle and a little beyond, since that seems to be where it is headed. The fire made a major push to the north and east in the last 24 hours, driven by the relentless dry winds of June. I left the house at 0600, so it was nice to be able to see the smoke laying low, before the daytime heating got cranked up and mixed things out. From Oracle I drove toward Peppersauce, but the road was blocked near the zipline place. Also headed down to near San Manuel. Then it was back home. I think the fire crews are doing a great job with this fire. The management techniques, operations planning, and information dissemination have come a long way from the old days. Pretty awesome when you consider what they are up against!   |
