AZDirtyTaco Report post Posted June 18, 2019 I know it's all but the inevitable if the line is as close and I'm splitting hairs, but that appears to be right on the edge. Still a chance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ8 Report post Posted June 18, 2019 Just read on the Tonto Twitter page that the work done around the Reavis Ranch area was successful. They released the following pictures. Looks like the orchard is ok. “....personnel are happy to report that mitigation efforts in the Reavis Ranch area, including the "Medusa Mother Tree", historic homestead foundation, old orchard, and Mexican spotted owl habitat were successful..” 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always wanted to go but I like to hike but not a touristy person where there is a constant flow of people. Maybe next year if my ankles get better and I can hike more than 3 or 4 miles a day.

And ya’ll are talking about apples smfh As much as we all hate wildfires and the damage they do to wildlife, they will come back, return.... that orchard and homestead is 150+ years old. Not to mention the magnificent tree they must call “medusa mother’s tree” that I took this photo with in 2014. Once they are destroyed they do not come back. I love reavis ranch and I was very happy with the news 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
