Well, the woods are closed.

I feel for all of you. Last year, we stayed at our place south of Tucson due to me recovering from surgery and Covid restrictions. We saw a spitting go rain enough to get the sidewalk wer and a couple of days later, we had a bit of rain fo perhaps fifteen minutes and that was it all summer. We came back to MI for the summer and it seems like we are getting rain at least every other day - here it is almost August and some are still having to mow their lawns twice a week - go figure. I wish I could send you all some of what we've had to help you out.

Be safe and we're all thinking of you.

GP...I'll be 'visiting' your state here in just a few days... It's bad, guys...really bad. It's still July (early in fire season) and all three of our SE area fire management teams are already in MT and ID. We'll do our best for ya....but buckle up, it's gonna be a rough year.

The northwest can sure use the help. So far the fires in Idaho are up in central Idaho and north but for us down here in the southern part of the state it's just one lighting strike away. Things are extremely dry and fire crews have their hands full as is. If our arid high desert catches I'm afraid it will be unstoppable until it burns itself out. Gp

A fire is at a friends property boundary up in the Yaak. I hope they can beat it back. There was a light rain this morning, less than 1/10" of an inch. All that will do is make the fire burn hotter.
