Gueros El Rey. Stop every time we drive through. Old Miami is a view into a previous world.

My grandparents were married there in 1924.

Richard the owner and his brother who owns Guayo's on the trail, are big time deer hunters and have taken some great muleys around that area.

Our AZ get-togethers are in the middle of my crazy busy season or I'd be there. Hell I'll be your cook. We will hook up....

Apply down south for coues...

I'll get you a buck picked out prior, but that might not be fun for you.. grin...

Ha, I used to hunt 35b all the time, all I hunted was coues for a lot of years... but have been waiting for a 3c tag and have 8 points so not quite guaranteed yet, hunted muleys for years then coues now one more muley.

I found a killer muley buck in 4b antelope hunting last year, probably bigger than anything in 3c, saw him 3 times and screwed up an archery opportunity one time. Not sure if he made it and almost applied but decided to put the wife in and if she draws we will see. There;s some killer coues bucks in 4b also up by Chevron.

I forgot to make this comment on our idiotic public works.

There's only one road into the valley open coming from the east side of the state, hwy 60, everyone has to drive around an extra hundred or more miles just to access it, what do they do. Restrict and block traffic on the most pinched two lane areas at Top of the World and Oak Flats... removing and installing new guard rails...

Come on you can reschedule that chit to allow traffic to pass freely, all other roads are closed for fire idiots.

Keep it safe bud.....

Just talked to some buddies, Bushnell is gone, Pine mountain gone, Edwards park gone, Boulder Mountain gone, Cyprus and Ord next. They are defensive at this point and allowing it to burn EVERYTHING on the East side of 87. It WILL reach Tonto basin- just a matter of where they want to make a stand. Fire was so hot it MELTED the guard rails on SR 87. I guy I know has been dozing fire breaks around Sunflower and rounding up cows. Saw all this first hand from his mule. If the fire gets to the north side of Ord I don't think they can stop it until the Verde river.

The big microwave tower on El Oso is burned already. The campsite where we have our winter shooting shindig is going to be the battleground to keep it out of the Greenbacks and Sierra Anchas.

Driving to layout a new house under the Superstitions I see a fire, looks to be around the First water area and towards Canyon lake. This is getting to be chit.

Not saying this is the case here, but I fully expect the commies to burn as much as possible this year.

Good friend in Payson was given the get ready to evacuate order. Another friend, a little lower than Payson, was evacuated. So sad, all this from a car fire that pulled off the road to get out of traffic!

Just read where they evacuated the communities on top of Mount Lemmon yesterday.

It's just ignorant people now but as you say, arsonists noticing the mayhem could start they're own incidents.

The Forests have banned fires since the Corona virus end of April, but there's been record campers, folks with time off and out of school, and the amount of people still building camp fires is crazy... kids wanting to party and bonfire, mex families that never hear of a law or think laws apply to them, and just dumbchit idiots.

I won't be surprised if they close the forests completely soon.

Came back to St George from Phoenix last Sunday. Heavy smoke from Page to the Paria River. Had to have the headlights on. This is the fire on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. They're trying to save Jacob Lake. We wanted to go on 89a through Lee's Ferry and Jacob Lake but they closed the road.

Bush fire just jumped 188 running full out, if it jumps the Tonto holy hell will break loose for central Az.

Kent, I suspect 23 will burn, Payson might get evacuated...

Lemmon is gonna all burn. It will burn Summerhaven tonight Lord help us....

I watched the fire from my truck bed through big eyes tonight 50 miles away. The wind may help, 30+ to blow it by a lot of the mountain.

We will know tomorrow....

last thing I saw was it was burning north, high on the mountain, they had started backburns to protect the observatory. might be headed to Oracle now.

4 hours ago flames were visible from webcams on cabins in Summerhaven ..

Looking north from my house i can see the Rincons. Smoke from the Bighorn fire is visible over the top of the Rincons.
