#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.

For some reason the forest service has cleared down to dirt 10 feet on either side of a forest road North of me. That road is even gated off, so it is just hikers using it. What is the excuse? A fire break? Embers can easily cross it. A trail we hiked last week in the same watershed had thousands of wildflowers on the old road cut. They haven't had time to seed. I can just imagine with horror all flowers cut down, and their reseeding potential gone at this other fire road. Fairy lilies, Chinese Houses, Bush Snapdragon to name a few slaughtered. The same is not true for the invasive grasses. They have already seeded and will have no competition next year. So the forest service is creating more tinder for next year. Wow, job security for whatever contractor or agency doing the clearing. $$$$

Recently I published several PDF tutorials showing how to display various kinds of #GIS data with ATAK and #WinTAK. Those tutorials do not include #iTAK since it is such a different critter compared to the other 2. https://mappingsupport.com/p2/atak/display_gis_data_with_atak.html
If you ignore ~75% of the ATAK features, the remaining features make a great hiking app. Alas, there is a learning curve.

Backcountry traffic. Inspired by post yesterday from @wanderinghermit
One of many pics I have of US Forest Service #USFS roads and hiking trails with some variation of this scene. This one is in Carson National Forest in northern #NewMexico
