Thank you, irmachac. I have been in the hospital but came home Christmas Eve so I haven't been able to drive out to see, but the TV news is saying there is snow on the mountain today.

Hi @PuzzleG The fire began very near the town of Superior and threatened that town, the Gold Canyon development east of Apache Junction, the Tonto National Monument, and homes and businesses in the Roosevelt Lake Area, among others. The winds cooperated and kept it from coming west into Apache Junction and Mesa, a very large metropolitan area. The Roosevelt Lake Area was evacuated. The firefighters did a magnificent job and got it contained as of July 19. It burned 123,875 acres. Now the worry is mudslides and flash floods in the denuded areas when the monsoons begin. We have had several other smaller fires across the state already. It looks as though the western US is going to have another rough summer like last year. The heavy rains of last winter made things grow rapidly and now that it is so dry, it is ready fuel. I have seen a lot of fires, but never such a large one so close in before. Do be careful of that smoky air.

Hi @Sharon72 ~ Strange that I should see this pic right now, when we have a big fire happening here in southern Oregon. It was also human caused, & last report said it has burned 9,000+ acres so far, mostly in deep, brushy canyon lands. It also jumped the I-5 freeway, & is now threatening hundreds of homes. Smoke is quite heavy here, even though the fire is about 40 miles north-east of us. I'm not going outside til this is over! We have pretty bad fires here almost every summer, but I never get used to them. Especially when we lived out in the country, where some of the fires came way too close for comfort. Sounds like this one was probably in uninhabited area, so hopefully no homes were threatened. I hope you are enjoying a lovely, smoke-free day! :) Gina, in Oregon

I was in Yellowstone in 1988 when they had that last big fire. We could see the billows of smoke from a long way off. Seeing the damage up close was so sad.
