"How do you fight 300,000 acre fire?

There's not gonna be much you can physically do with this monster, especially if the windy conditions persist. It's gonna take some serious prayer for rain. So many, many of the tribesmen are gonna feel the pain, for the forest is their livelihood

Those that believe in the power of prayor, please turn it on.

Latest word from the smokies is fear the two fires will merge.

I'm about 140 miles s.w., and those big white puffy cathedrals in the sky we can see from here aren't clouds of moisture but of smoke!

Those four dozen smokies from Puerto Rico were stationed right in what is now the middle we believe.

With the wind still strong and gusting, the inferno might just keep going north until the terrain slopes down, out of pine forest down to juniper and pinion. When it gets to a lower altitude of brush and wildgrass, it'll slow down.

A business partner of mine moved about 150 beeves into north of there last month. We wonder if we'll ever see any of them again. We know about a dozen horses were grazing near a certain canyon that had water. Canyon all burnt, all canyons around it burnt, sky smokies don't see anything moving.

Que sera, sera.

Do you know how they name those fires ... Rodeo, Chediski. In the 1970's there was a very bad one in Arizona called the Dude fire. They still refer to that one when comparing it to these new ones.
