Closures in NM due to wildfires
 
Valles Caldera has just been closed due to wild fire at Thompson Ridge; as is Fenton Lake.

Each fire [there are 2] has burned just over 9,000 acres and one is 15% contained at Tres Lagunas [north of Pecos] and the Thompson Ridge is only 5%. :(

Very sad. Have you been having strong winds lately?

It has been very windy and VERY dry.

It's always so sad to hear about devastation from fire and the great difficulties and dangers in trying to control them. Wish I could send some rain your way!

We would take it in a heartbeat!
