#BlackFeatherFire #NewMexico Up to 2500 acres. Article on the Santa Fe New Mexican this morning highlighting some of the people/ communities in the area. For me this is wilderness and a happy place. Good #USFS aerial photo of the plume in the article photo gallery.

Well, the #BlackFeatherFire is burning in the San Pedro Parks Wilderness, a small-ish wilderness area northeast of Cuba, #NewMexico. 200 acres last night up to 1500 this morning, active with hot dry windy conditions. Not great. Map info from various sources seem to be coming together this morning. Here's a link to the #NMFireInfo site. Thanks to other NM people for posting links and pics of the plume with the various hashtags.

Another view of the #BlackFeatherFire from atop the knoll to my east, looking NE. #NMFire

There’s hills then the Jemez between Ojo Encino and the #BlackFeatherFire but the plumes are still visible 30 miles away. Damn. #nmfire
