There's a reason for those
Stage III Fire Restrictions. According to latest reports in
The Albuquerque Journal though, this one broke out on private land. Fire doesn't know boundaries I guess.
The sky was clear at 12:30 when I got back from a bike ride of the Bandelier Loop, where I ran into some Santa Fe folks riding up from the valley and we all road like fiends up the climb from Bandelier to Back Gate. Had lunch, took a nap, and woke up to a dark sky. Apparently, the fire blew up at about 1 p.m.
near the Las Conchas campgrounds near mile marker 35 of NM Rt. 4, about 12 miles upwind of us. The fire is growing fast in high winds. NM-4 is shut down at the Back Gate and some areas in the Jemez are starting to evacuate.
Be careful out there.

Stay safe folks.
Friends in San Ysidro - other side of the mountain.
Stay safe! We're hoping for the best for you.
We're packed for the essentials and are slowly trying to figure anything else useful/valuable/sentimental to toss in the car. See you all on the flip side.
