Wallow Wildfire in Arizona

This is now the biggest ever wildfire in Arizona, over 400,000 acres, much of the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest. Also, Eager and Springerville have been evacuated as the fire is headed in their direction.

Chuck left Eagar yesterday afternoon to go to Texas, where he has family. No telling what he'll come back to.

All is being done to keep the fire out of the towns but there's been zero containment so far and really high winds (up to 35mph gusts).

I hope the Casa Malpais RV Park, where I stayed last Sept., doesn't get damaged.
