I'm rather fond of your state's huge cacti, I don't like to think of them toasted. Nice photos, though.

Its been now like 3 weeks....and over 35k acres.
Its a huge range, it goes from the to the front depending on the wind.....It can burn plenty more if you look to the left of the smoke....not in the pic, the west side of the range is on fire too.
not as bad, but its all over the place.

in as much as they have tried to control fire in the area and let too much under brush and deadfall build up? Other than the property damage are you hearing anything about this being good for the range in general?

alot like Yellowstone.....but with more people and homes
invloved now. Im sure it has some good points, but
those wont be seen until a few months from now.

Wow, those are amazing photos, I didn't realize how close it was. The air quality must be awful.

Hey, is there any chance you could get a pic of an svx in front of the volcanoish background?
