dunefreak Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I sure hope they can get them under control. I took these photos tonight. That fire is getting big! Quote
White Rhino Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 That fire was so small. I think they underestimated it (course I know absolutely nothing LOL) Quote
sand chick Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 We have ash all over our yard and cars this morning. So so sad. Our beautiful mountain burning up. Everything is closed, Kyle Canyon and Lee Canyon, on this side and I don't remember the names of the roads on the Pahrump side, going to the mountain. They don't estimate containment until July 19th. I am obviously keeping a close eye on it. I am postponing all my lead hikes until August. Quote
sand chick Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Here is a Google Earth 3D image of the fires current path of destruction... Quote
QuadBunny702 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 It's super sad... I work at the golf resort just past the mt charleston exit... All the greens are covered in ash... Quote
mineurbiz Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 It's super sad... I work at the golf resort just past the mt charleston exit... All the greens are covered in ash... People are probably still golfing there I would imagine, even with the ash and poor air quality? Quote
QuadBunny702 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 People are probably still golfing there I would imagine, even with the ash and poor air quality? Yes... Not many but a few die hards are out here trying to make themselves sick Can't even see the mountain at the moment People have been coming up with nosebleeds, sore throat, and headaches all day Quote
vegas style Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 the choppers have been nonstop flying back to north vegas airport to fuel. i seem to be right on the flight path Quote
QuadBunny702 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Looks like no sleep for you tonight vegas style! Quote
vegas style Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 they dont seem to run at night. and there much quieter then the search and rescue huey that roars over at about 100 feet now and then. that thing makes my house vibrate. Quote
dunefreak Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 It's pretty sad what's happening to one of our only GREEN places with trees. It will be decades before it's the same again. I took these a couple nights ago. The flames were visible at night all the way from Henderson. Quote

It gives me a sick feeling to know that one of my favorite summer places is burning to the ground... They were saying its making its way toward redrock... I'm praying it doesn't migrate all the way to cold creek :'( Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 it does suck that its burning but it is natures way of cleaning the forest. that mountain is so overgrown and has so much underbrush because the fire fighters always get the fires out. Now its a huge headache because its so bad. Quote
bp-guy Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 All that ash will make for some green grass though. When San Diego almost burned to the ground a few years back my driveway was 1/4 thick of ash. My grass was so green shortly after that. Its back to being dead again.... Quote

dunefreak Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 I noticed that too! They say it's 60% contained at this point. Quote
