10,000 acres or more

If you go to http://www.knau.org/ and click on the map, you'll see the perimeter of the fire, as of yesterday. This morning they have been flying around and getting new perimeters, so it will probably change today. If you zoom in a little to see the words, our house is close to Neptune Drive, on the East side of Hwy 89, Northeast of Silver Saddle. The news reports are saying the fire actually reached some back yards in Timberline but the fire fighters were able to ward them off! They seem to be doing an astounding job. http://www.azdailysun.com/ has a couple great articles. Today there isn't supposed to be much wind, so hopefully they'll be able to get it more under control before the winds start up again. Anyway, sorry, no new pictures- last night the flames were all over the hill that had just a line of flames the night before last. It would be beautiful if it wasn't so sad.

  1. You're right, it would be eerily lovely, except it's so tragic. Oh, and I think we'll get to go home today...do you still have the chowder? We'll get it today if you do, but if not, don't worry about it!
