The Pacheco Fire

The Pacheco fire in the Santa Fe National Forest up in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near the Santa Fe Ski Basin has been burning for over a week now.

The fire has consumed over 6,000 acres of steep rugged forested land, and at last report was 18% contained.

I took these pictures yesterday afternoon, when the visible smoke plum from my house appeared to have gotten much larger:

Up in the mountains

We went up for a drive to the top of the Sangre de Cristos a couple of weeks ago when our kids were out here visiting.

We never get tired of that trip up the mountain, and it's always fun to take visitors up there:

First snow of the season at the Ski Basin

The first snow of the year fell up at the Santa Fe Ski Basin over the weekend.

Not enough for skiing yet, but it's a start, and we saw lots of enthusiastic people up at the ski area yesterday checking out the snow.
