WOW! What a FIRE :eek: Take care up there! So far, we (the White Mountains) have been VERY lucky, with the above average moisture this past winter, we've been spared THUS far, however, my desert neighbors to the south haven't been so lucky. The brush fire season down *south* has been ABOVE average.

They lost a bunch of Mobile Homes and some vehicles due to a wildfire near Wickenburg yesterday. We've been moderately lucky here as well because of our May rains.

We've been lucky so far too...for one, we're still pretty soaked from all the rains we had this winter and 2. it's alot cooler than average, so we haven't seen those days and days of super hot 100* + days yet....

Hope it stays cools and fire free...
