Default Here We Go ... Fire Season Out West

Here's the best website I've seen for keeping track of fires. It won't
show TFR's however. Click on Wildfire Mapping.

Amazing how fast fire fighting TFRs can pop up.

Two just today and both are either on or close enough to airways to make
low-level flights north from Phoenix a little problematical. One is just SE
of Prescott and the other is just S of Sedona.

I'm going to Page, AZ tomorrow and I'm lookin' at going NE to Payson and
Winslow before I can turn back to the NNW.

If you're camping out west these days...be careful with those matches and
campfires. It's frighteningly dry right now.
