Looks like the old campsite burned up for sure. Well nature will do it’s thing.

Thought I’d share that. Think about the young girl if you got a moment. What happened?

I haven't been in touch with him but I talked with one of the captains here in Utah and said that this thing won't be under control any time soon. I don't know how to post videos but he is right in the middle of this chit show.

Yep it burnt, it was a good place for us for a few years, too bad you and I didn't get to visit camp Reno like we wanted. Anyway, the fire crews have done a tremendous job forcing this fire within the perimeter of hwy 87 and 188, backburning and no structures lost, some super tough country and bad weather conditions.

Kent,
I drove through that area a couple of times on 87, but I'm having a hard time picturing the habitat. Is it in the foothills oak woodlands or has it gotten to the pines yet. Or is in mixed stuff. Still below the rim as I recall.

Still below the rim as I recall. V - I have not been monitoring the track and perimeter of that one (we have one of our own down this way) but the area East of 87 where we had the Campfire gatherings is in the Tonto Basin - near Roosevelt Lake - and it is high desert. Mostly brush, some Mesquite and Scrub Oak - maybe some Juniper. With winds, burns fast and hot.

thanks C's.
That's what I was thinking from my recollection.
Having lived and recreated in San Diego County, Show-Low/Pinetop, and now in sage/juniper habitat I know that type of land quite well.

Fire started in the desert just out of Mesa and ran over Four Peaks, so started at 1500 ft elev, climbed up over 7000 ft and back down to 2200 ft.
The update this morning is good news, fire is contained by 87 and 188 just hot spots, still some activity in the south by the Salt river lakes but sparse and running out of fuel fast. I think they've got it.

going to be a lot of cliff rose in the north part of 12A in a few years. Looks like they stopped it short of 12B.
set your Leupolds on 9 boys.
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....
