Another story on the fires:

The Stitzel they mentioned has at least 10 times the acres the credited him in BLM. And BLM may be tougher yet on letting them back on for grazing. It is a rolly sage country. I really like that area, and have been in it, although I am no expert on it.

I was checking up on the fires further west, and thought there was a real neat picture of a fire near a well known ranch. (Maggie Creek Ranch) There is also a good article on the ranch in the last western horsemans website. You can't find the story in the magazine, just the website.

Here is the fire article. Dang they are having some big fires in that part of the world this year.

Last week I got a front row seat one afternoon/nite of Casper Mtn burning in WY. Amazing how those slurry planes and copters coordinated. Never heard the exact amt of acres lost but I think some homes were burned also.

Bad business fer sure!
