    Dang.  That sounds like microwave hotdogs on July 4th. 🤮

    I just looked at Gila county and luckily we don’t have the same restrictions this weekend. 

    It's not the same but we are doing a pork shoulder covered in bacon that we smoked from the same hog. All on an electric smoker.We are still going to celebrate the 4th!

    Need a break.


    Anyone know of a cabin up north (hotel/whatever) on a creek with fish that has wifi?

    And.. must have fish. Or at least the opportunity to try.

    Or a rumor that there is indeed fish in the water.

    .. with a BBQ.

    Watch where you go. Up here we can't even use propane grills this year. Coconino county has restricted them right now. Also all forest and state trust lands are closed with now.

    We got the downgrade from "Set" back to "Ready" about 20 minutes ago!  Feeling much better in SW Flagstaff!

    They evacuated South Garland so they could do back burns is what we were told.

    gunsmith, one radar site shows a small tanker and two cropdusters working around Casner.  I sure hope it does not crest out to the east.

    I know they had a plane on it last night, but I hadn't seen anything else about it.  Hopefully they can put it out in the canyon if it gets on top it could be really bad.

    gunsmith, thanks, but i posted a link to that map 2 hours ago.  It shows the fire last night down in the canyon, but not coming out of the canyon into 6b as adicted mentioned.  I was wondering if he had any updated/current info/pics to that regard.

     

    I should have looked at your link. Last night you could see the flames from Garland Prairie so I assumed it was coming out of the canyon, but I guess its not according to the updates. The latest update I read said they will not put any more resources on the fire until it comes out of the canyon.

    My wife was lucky enough to draw a unit 8 early archery bull tag with only 4 points as non resident.  We have been in that unit in the past, mainly for a late bull rifle hunt.  We are in good shape and have no problem going the extra mile to get away from the crowds.  Most of the sycamore wilderness area seems to be at lower elevation.  Are there enough elk to go after in the canyons, or should we focus on higher elevation like the AZ fish and game seems to recommend?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Sycamore is all on fire right now.

    Parents got evacuated from the Bear fire. The Sherriff came and said gtfo the fire is coming. The firefighters have never witnessed conditions this terrible. There is really no way to stop or extinguish any of these fires. All they can do is try to prevent them from burning structures at this point. There are too many fires burning across the state and not enough resources to help battle them. Scary times folks. 

    Yeah it is. The whole state is on fire.

    I hadnt seen the latest  map update on the fire movement but I was really surprized that fire didnt run up the canyons more west. looks like it start a mile east of the perkinville williams highway where it turns to dirt .

    They closed bill williams mountain a few months ago didnt they?

     

    The 20mph winds out of the west pushed it east.

    Was it hard to skin those trout? I've never seen that done before.

    Not at all it. We cut all the fins off and gut them. Next we cut right behind the gills to the spine then grab the head and pull back until the spine breaks. Once you do that you can use the head as a handle to peel the skin back towards the tail. That is the only way my grandpa ever cooked trout. My boy likes them breaded and fried so that's what we did.
