[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 59719, member: 1573"] Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. I've had no internet for the last 32 hours, no phone service, and all the roads into Ruidoso were closed . . . flames and smoke everywhere. Looks like the apocalypse . . . Haven't been able to get in touch with some friends in the fire zone. This is the worst i've ever seen. Lots of people have lost their homes. Fortunately, Capitan and where I live, is not as heavily vegetated as Ruidoso with the tall pines, so there wouldn't be much fuel for the fire. It was horrible to watch these tall trees just explode. There are three herds of wild horses in this wilderness area and many of the mares have just foaled. Worried about them. These mountains will never be the same. They're bringing in the National Guard, more air tankers, etc. At least no lives have been lost. Good night all. I just wanted to update you and let you know I was fine, sad, but fine. Thanks for caring :-) [/QUOTE]
