Las Conches June 29

New day, new map. For some reason they have this posted on NMFireInfo in a tiny little ever-changing window so you can't recognize anything and it changes to a slightly different version before you realize you don't know what it means. I found that if you "View Image" and then hack off the excess from the jpg URL you get a bigger map. This for instance (click for more):

Looks like it's still sneaking up on LANL and almost has the Pajarito Ski Area surrounded, but grew more to the north and south. Right now I can see a goodly plume from what must be the Bandelier burn on the south-east side. And the wind seems to be picking up from the west again

We'll just see.

  2. I'm waiting for the fireworks to start in Hondo. A couple guys from my dept went up to Las Conches in the first Wildland truck, and three crews of county guys went in structure engines to protect the ski lodge, but they're all back now.

    It's raining here now and how.

    Come to the Hondo VFD bbq on Jul 4 12-3pm!!!
