The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Good morning all, as some of you noticed, we were down for a while, but Packy, bless his heart, got us back on-line before he was fully awake. It seems like he just needed to repair our database. We should not have lost any data though since he did not have to go back to an earlier version.

The start of a long weekend for most here in the US. The fire up near Sedona is going to crimp a lot of people's plans. Memorial Day weekend is when they usually open all of the campgrounds in Oak Creek Canyon. Not this year, they evacuated the few that were already open soon after the fire started. Most had to leave everything behind and just go. The smoke seems to be blowing north, so the Town of Sedona is clear, but still, you don't just go to Sedona, you have to go up 89A while you're there, and that road is closed to everyone right now. The fire is now pushing 8,000 acres, but they're saying that they are starting to get the upper hand on it, the winds are dying down and there's a chance of rain today. There are some 840 firefighters fighting this blaze and I wish each and every one of them that they are kept safe while they're up there, and that they're successful in containing this fire.
