With extremely dry conditions the fire danger has been high in the Angel Fire area. There have been several forest fires in the New Mexico this summer. We are very gratefull for rain showers on July 2nd and 3rd. Thanks to all the visitors for not shooting off fireworks of their own and enjoying a safe vacation free of high fire risk activities. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for more rain.
