They closed bill williams mountain a few months ago didnt they? The 20mph winds out of the west pushed it east. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted June 22, 2021 "Only those with private inholdings will be allowed access to their property, " While I wish they had closed the forests sooner, what about those with leases? I'm not worried about miners like me who'll be locked out, the govt will expect their lease payments.on time. But if you had a cattle lease you might need to.haul in water. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They closed bill williams mountain a few months ago didnt they? They have now updated the Rafael fire under incident command online. It looks like it's almost to Turkey butte in unit 6b and lonesome pocket in unit 8. Hopefully they get some rain up there the next couple of days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n2horns Report post Posted June 22, 2021 Sucks the feds charge us for the land that is free, close land that is free and when our free lands are open for a short window, you are limited on access. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you talking about forests closing? You think they shouldn't close them? For me, I think they should use their 'expertise' (I know.... So called, expertise....) to close the forests when they think they need to for the greater good. If the indicators they watch/manage say they should close it, then I'm not going to argue with that. This time it of course seems to me like a no-brainer regarding closures. Regarding fees, I think I disagree with you there. But that is for a different thread, I suppose. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gila county Sheriff info officer on the BackBone said last night the TNF district was meeting today to decide if they would close the Tonto. I would bet tomorrow it will close with the others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know some folks up there that would know and they are going to close it. Sounds like they are going to start going around today to tell campers to pack up and leave. I hope I'm wrong, but that's what I heard from someone I would consider reliable. Bummer too, we had plans to head up there for July 4th weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
