The fire

Haven’t mentioned the Las Conchas wildfire in several days. That is the fire that threatened Los Alamos the last week of June.

The fire is three weeks old today. It has burned 156,245 acres (244 square miles) in the Jemez Mountains. It is 65% contained. Great plumes of smoke are visible still; driving across Sandia Pueblo last night I could see the fire, orange glow on the mountains 35-40 miles north. Quite a site.

Dangerousmeta had some wonderful photos of sunset from Santa Fe Friday evening.
