Fire in the National Park
When I got back to my house in the Ejido around 11 I noticed some clouds forming behind Cero de la Encantada. About an hour later I realized it was
smoke and not clouds. It appears to be a little south of cero Botella Azul. Lots of smoke at times as the fire moves into different types of ground
cover. The wind is moving the smoke northeasterly so it looks like the fire is moving north towards the observatory.
I would love to think that I am being paranoind and that it is just a front moving in. But I have seen many forest fires and that's what this looks
like.

I really hate to agree with you Bob, but that's what it looks like to me also. And the smoke trail looks like it's over Yuma now. Really boinling up

"The fire started last Saturday in the area of Potrero which is southeast of Meling Ranch. We first saw mid morning on Sunday and haven't heard how it
started"

Well, today the 14th there's still smoke coming east - hanging low over the mountains and obscuring the view of the Sierra San Pedro Matir. Kind of
light overcast here for a while. Anyone hear anything about size, movement etc?

My wife and I were up in the San Pedro Martir last Monday with our dogs and saw the fire from our campsite at Padre Kino near the Blue Bottle road.
Really enjoyed the posted satellite image because we saw that plume from ground level and it looked ominous. We were glad to hear from one of the park
staff that the fire was further away than it looked.
We drove down Tuesday and had a great view of the remains of the fire and the smoldering chaparral covered hillsides above Rancho Potrero.

Long time no see
Way back, when there was a big fire here in Tijuana, we used to say, "Esta tan grande que hasta los bomberos de San Diego van a venir". I saw that
with the old race track, Calette, and a downtown fire. Tonight as I crossed back into M?xico @ San Ysidro there were about 15 CDF big rig units, 10
back up trucks, and other fire personel vehicles @ secondary having theire pictures and video taken for the news I'm sure, and as I got a red light,
I asked the customs inspector if it was because of the San Pedro Martir fire and he said that they were going to a fire south of Ensenada and that
aduana had given the ok to pass. Along with them were fire, state, city and other official vehicles waiting to caravan then.
All I can say is THANK'S, werever you heroes are goimg

We could use them in arizona. Whatever happened to
take care of your own Maybe the Loreto Bay clowns and other deep pockets can pitch in and buy some fire fighting aircraft.  Hell would
freeze over before that happens.

WELCOME TO BAJA NOMAD GRAHAM!
I am glad to see you were successful in posting the photo!
(note to Nomads: Graham reached me Friday evening as I was nearing Calexico on Hwy. 98, heading for San Felipe and beyond, asking how to post a photo.
He was ready to become a Nomad so I wouldn't have to take all the 'heat' (lol) for his killing any rattlesnakes, if there is a next time! Yes, this is
Graham Mackintosh, the author, adventurer...)
