Miller burn damage map
We can't get up there yet to see how bad it is, but the USFS posted a soil burn damage map of the fire at http://inciweb.org/incident/2324/ . I overlayed it onto a mapquest map of Miller, Carr and Nicksville, and marked our launches and LZ and the Carr Canyon road. Both launches were involved, as wa...

Re: Flying sites
This part of the announcement was interesting. With respect to Miller Canyon and Carr Canyon roads, closed by the Monument fire:
This specific Sierra Vista Ranger District closure shall remain in effect until August 20, 2011 or until rescinded, whichever is earlier.

Re: Rosemont News
Done. The club is neutral on the mine issue since we asked SSSR to remove us from their web site list of supporters. The Star article was in error. Eric already demanded and got a promise of a retraction, since he never said that SAHGA supported the mine. Once published, if the club has any problems...

Flying report
Andy and I drove up and arrived at Mingus in time for the launch window Saturday morning. There were a *lot* of hang gliders set up and paraglider pilots queued up on the PG launch. The PGs were flying as we arrived, but the HG pilots were holding back. I was #3 off the HG launch and had a poor flig...

Unbelievable
TV news is reporting tonight that Nicks bar has been destroyed in the fire. The Mesquite Tree restaraunt was reported on TV to have burned, but the Montezuma Fire face book page reports it was still there, so there's a lot of convusion. An explosion around a gas station was reported, I guess that's ...

The Monument fire is up to 18,580 acres. It hasn't burned very much into Miller Canyon yet but it has jumped highway 92 and is burning on the east side of the highway. It has reached Hereford road east of 92, but has been held there so far. This is the current incident map from http://inciweb.org/in...

Fire in the southern Huachucas
TV reports a new fire, the Monument fire, is burning at the southern end of the Huachuca mountains near Ash Canyon. It's at 4600 acres and zero percent containment right now. At least one aerial tanker is working it.

Playing hooky to fly Mingus Wednesday
This weekend is shaping up as another southwest blown-out mess, and of course most of our sites are shut down due to fire danger. But Wednesday is looking decent for Mingus. Four of the Phoenix HG pilots have already posted their intentions to fly, and Eric Smith and I will be heading up to join the...

Re: Flight Report 06/11/11
Yeah, nice going, Andy! You're really tearing it up this year, and the flying weather hasn't been that good.
I'm thinking that's pretty much a guaranteed Eagle of the Month win.
