Back Burn Above Honeymoon
Well, it is official. The Wallow fire is the largest in Arizona history at 469,000+ acres. 4 commercial buildings, 32 residences, and 36 out buildings have been lost so far. Without the 4000+ firefighters working round the clock, the toll would have been much worst.
Here at the Double Circle Ranch there are three BIG smoke plumes – closer than ever. Doug has gone to check on our neighbors to the north. The back fires have to be close to their place. Now the winds are supposed to blow from the fire towards us all week. It could get ugly here real quick.
We haven’t packed an emergency bag yet. Maybe we should. I guess we just can’t face the possibility of losing miles of fencing and water lines plus solar – everything we have worked so hard to get in place here. We just keep watching and hoping.
