AZ BS Thread 4²0

Amber running and white? I was looking at LP9’s but still on the fence of what I want to do with forward lighting.

 

Went camping up on the rim near Bear Canyon. Hiked to this spot, which is accessible by vehicle but I might want to invest in skids before hand. But our spot had a pretty good view too.

 

Fire crews didn't come by and evacuate you? They had all the roads closed/ blocked off the 87 this morning

 

Nah, I was NE of Payson off of 260.

 

Cheese dogs, 8 min in, internal temp high enough to melt the cheese. Should be ready in 5 min.



And you think you can grill.

 

No crispy bark on the outside but still dang tasty.
Ain't nuttin' on no cheese dog though!

 

Impressive. Did you preclean with any simple green or anything like that?

Morning woods

@snowsk8air2 backyard ain't bad

 

Wish the truck were ready. I would have come out for at least one night.

That said the truck will be ready this week so anyone up this way over summer hit me up and I’d love to meet up with some people.

 

Morning wood...

 

So is Rim Road closed then from both ends ? Anyone know?

 

Helped at wrestling camp in Pagosa Springs all week. What a great time, beautiful weather and country too!

 

When I drove by yesterday around 10:30 AM it was blocked by 4-5 FS and fire vehicles. I believe they were escorting people out of the area as well. The fire forecast map shows the fire working south towards the rim. (assuming this based on the proposed closure area being south of clints well vs north). All the roads south of the 87 up to at least Lake Mary Road CR3 were closed. This was a lightning fire and I believe the plan of attack is manage vs extinguish

EDIT, Since the fire is on the western edge I would think the eastern side is open to at least Woods Canyon lake. I do know the AZT has not issued any trail closures yet but expected this week. Smoke was blowing S/SSE though so I dont know if hanging out on the east rim would be very appealing.

 

You were not kidding that road was a mess, easily doable in 2wd with no mud, but was slow going. Did see a huge doe out there though.

 

FYI: If anyone lost a phone this weekend in the salt river tubing area I know a guy who found one there.

 

Really jinxed yourself by saying that
