This is the Tres Lagunas fire burning near Pecos, NM. Some amazing time-lapse video.

Yes, it is amazing. Thanks for sharing it. I hope we all get through this summer season okay. It could be real tough around here.

Yeah. I hope we all get through this fire season okay, too. Parts of the Cibola NF will close on June 10. The Lincoln NF has a chance for thunderstorms tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that we get more of the wet part and less of the electrical part. If we mss out on the rain, I expect the Lincoln will close within a couple of weeks, too, although I haven't heard anything official.

I've been following the California fires, too. I think there are going to be some tired firefighters around the West,

Impressive video. Makes you think about landscape scale fire events- quite a scary prospect. With all the rain we have had lately, we are no longer worried about drought and fire here- almost 7 inches of rain in May alone. It would be nice if things would even out a bit. Best wishes to all of you in the arid west. I hope you get some relief soon.
