Here are some pics in 22n around fossil creek area I wish NFS would have done an aerial seed drop of native grasses once it was evident there would be monsoon rain. Still not too late.

Swivelhead Report post Posted August 7, 2021 Hopefully USFS will get on with it. With all the fires around the western US and in AZ it could sap resources. I witnessed the Wallow fire BAER response, I was impressed. https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/photos/AZCOF/2021-07-04-1120-Backbone-PostFire-BAER/related_files/pict20210620-211033-0.pdf 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The road wasn’t much different than it’s always been I heard it was pretty messed up after that last rain when the town flooded. 🤷🏻♂️ They extended the closure to End of Dec. Thats usually a bad sign when it was originally closed till October. How bad is Madera burnt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted August 7, 2021 It might be worse now after those rains. It got it pretty bad. The 2nd photo is from next to the tower, looking kinda NE back towards the main road/globe. 3rd photo is the big canyon on the left about a mile from the locked gate that goes to Madera. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonecollector Report post Posted August 8, 2021 That sucks. That mtn will never be the same in my lifetime. Figured they would have to fix that road pretty fast for the towers and the people with the cabins up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonecollector Report post Posted August 12, 2021 The US 60 is closed from Superior to Miami for flooding. ADOT has to repair a section of the hwy. If your headed that way next week for hunting, probably going to be a lot longer drive to go around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The area was closed until last weekend but there were lots of people ignoring the signs. There were patches that didn't burn. All of the backburn areas are looking great!
