It was posted on their Twitter I think. But you can find all official information on the forest service website.

Here's a another good resource:

Arizona Wildfire Response Dashboard

 

Wow, that’s a lot of fires. I feel for the fire fighters and those effected :/

 

AND added to my bookmarks. Thanks for that!

Hit Pucker Ridge the first time this weekend. Was a good time and fairly empty. Thought for sure when we passed by some of the fire warnings that we'd at least see some smoke, but east side seemed fairly clear.

 

Was going to 'Like' this to show you I read it, but I don't like this shit. Blah.

 

I really wish I hadn't checked Facebook. So much for spending my birthday up camping/ fishing at lake Mary. Damn fires.

 

Glad I went camping this weekend after missing BDR. This sucks, just walked the dog in downtown flagstaff and got chest pains from how thick the smoke is. Fingers crossed there wont be any fires where Im going in Colorado for the 4th. Pray for rain, do a rain dance, whatever works.

 

Evacuation for Heber-Overgaard.

Everybody wash your trucks!

 

No kidding...I have a CO trip planned for 02-11July

 

I've been weighing selling the shell and eventually get a bed rack replacement.

Since the career change, I no longer need the constant storage (though it is still nice to have), and I've been fixated on maybe getting a RTT to have a more comfortable sleeping space to encourage me to get out more. The shell is nice, but it feels like a coffin sometimes and I'm tired of doing the caterpillar.

 

Do it! I sleep better in my RTT than I do at home.

 

I hate this time of year. I want nothing more than to escape to the mountains but we need rain so bad. Almost not worth it until the rains come.

 

Another good resource for Coconino specific closures.

Add Kaibab to the list. That killed my weekend plans.

 

Let’s just say no camping in AZ until we get a few really good monsoons

 

Well @Sixthelement no going back now

 

Aww yeeaahh, me next me next!!!

I was literally just shopping for shocks so we can finally do my hangers/relo.
