They just opened one lane on 87 from Mesa to Payson yesterday at noon, I'm going up tomorrow with some equipment and culverts to Christopher creek, hope to get up and pick a spot on the rim.

Anyway, things are in turmoil in the forests, at this point it's still open on top but lots of camping closures on the Tonto and restrictions. With these fires they could close all the forests at any time.

We are planning to camp on the Apache/Sitgraves NF a few miles above the Tonto NF.

Facemasks in public places are now required in many cities and counties in Az, Payson is one that some may drive through, be prepared.

Group size may still be restricted on the forest or may not, I think it was ending June 26th unless it's extended, we need to be prepared to 'stretch' out camp if needed.

This has been saddening - even though the consumed acreage is not nearly as extensive as some of the recent big conflagrations, these fires are burning some prime places where, for a long time, many have gone to enjoy the high deserts and nearby mountain retreats. Some significant smoke down here to remind us of the ongoing losses. I sure am having hope that places up high on the Rim don't get bitten.

Kat and I will be there!

We camp with a "Luggable Loo" and a beach shelter for it to reside in for toilet needs. Bring your own plastic bags to line the 5 gal bucket! grin

Constantly changing restrictions, all developed campgrounds are closed again. We are dispersed camping but that forces all other campers also, we may well get surrounded by others close enough we need to forgo shooting. They may also ban shooting like the Tonto has just a few miles from the apache sitgraves.

Best to think of this camp as visiting and eating, the kids can fish at the local lakes, there's stuff to do.

Nice rain here this evening. It moved in from the west and laid down a lot of water on the mountains to the west and south of us. Smells delicious--actually feels like the start of the monsoons. It's about a week or so early, but temperature on the front porch went from pushing 100 to 76 in a matter of minutes. The Chiricahuas to the west are swathed in a wall of gray and black clouds.

We had a pizza on the porch for supper and watched most of the country to the southeast, south and west get a good drink. It appears to be Pacific moisture, so I am hoping that Arizona is getting a little relief.

KRP, Thanks for asking for me, I won't be coming, we are locked down here on the ranch now, as we have 5 ranch hands with covid19, and we are testing every week, we don't know where this going to wind up? Wish i could come but we are real short handed, I may be old but I can still drive a tractor and baler.
Will miss seeing you all, Thank You. Blue

Mark,you and the your better half are Welcome here any time, I would enjoy seeing you, but for now we are covered up with KUNG-FLU, I'm so damn sick of rubber gloves and face masks, hand sanitizer, and long distance conversations, as they say ( this is a hell of a way to run a rail road) or a ranch, maybe this will be over soon, then we can all get together again.
