The Bighorn Fire burned up Pima Canyon and crossed over into Finger Rock Canyon on Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning, there was visible fire up high in Finger Rock Canyon during my walk, from 6:30-8. Papa and I were watching the fire while getting ready for Claire’s arrival around noon, and near 11:30, the fire seemed to “explode,” as it got into big timber near the top of Finger Rock Canyon. I took this photo just as the fire was “exploding” with flames reaching much higher than before. Over the course of the next several hours, the fire spread east another mile.
Soon after Claire arrived, we drove out to Tanque Verde Ranch to spend a few days. I took this photo from the Ranch about 5-6 hours later than the one above.
